Source for 10mm black spark plug wires?

I LOVE the fitment of the Magnecor R100 10mm wires - they are the perfect length and I absolutely love the design with the 90 degree dizzy plugs.

I strongly dislike the blazing orange red color. It worked with the previous owner's blazing orange red intake manifold / carb, but doesnt work for me.

Any one know of a way to get the same in black? Ideally i'd like to get at least R100 quality or better, and i'm not interested in gimmicks like nology or anything

Maybe have to make my own? Suggestions on quality kits?

Cheers
~Geoff

Spray paint?

It doesn't get any better than those 10 mm magnacors, for all the reasons you list, plus they last forever.

Only wires I'll use these days. I'll bet they'd take a coat of rustoleum satin black spray paint just fine.

While I'm not a fan of most Procomp crap, I have had these on my ford pu for a few years now w/o problems. They are 10.5 and "look" cool and they're cheap.

Agree with Magnecor R100 being great leads, I use them on my car.

What about a black braided sleeve or black heat shield to cover your current wires.
