I remember reading a wire comparison somewhere. I remember Magnecore wires not being very good at all and I remember Accel, the cheap yellow ones that all the parts stores carry, being quite good with low signal loss and low noise. I don't remember where NGK's were though. One of these days I am going to get a new set and I am planning on using Accel.

Sparkling Wires

I don't think the NGK's are worth the money. You can get Taylor Pro's for alot less, they handle more heat and come in colors (Summit Racing).

I had Magnacores on my Honda and threw them away after the distributor went bad,then installed Accell and thought those were better for 1/2 the price.

I currently have Vitek on order but like M2...i'm waiting and waiting (where's my damn wires). They have the highest heat resistence that i've found and come in colors. (vitek.com)

I don't know about the Nology but Feed's wires look exactly the same (don't know anything about those either).

Taylor Pro $35 (<-why pay $55 for NGK?)
Racing Beat $85 (rx7store.net or racing beat)
Vitek $115
