I have those wires. Had them for over a year, no problems. You have to remember they are made for Jegs by a reputable company and Jegs just puts there name on them. Go buy them.

I had them and thought they were good wires for the money. Alot better than the autozone or advanced bought wires! I have since changed to MSD because of a good deal I found in them.

Cool I am also thinking about these wires for the price. I Hope they will hold up to my long tube headers. I would get the Ngk tr55 plugs if i were you or the stock ac delcos.

I got the Jegs 8.5s seem to work better than my 5 year old MSD's. you can pull the boot of the spark plug end and slide the msd boot on if it makes you feel any better.

I've been wondering about these. Glad to hear they hold up well. Guess I'm picking up a set now.

I wonder what the 8.5's ohm out to be? It would be real cool if they were 50-60 ohms a foot

because I don't use the factory holders anyways. Plus the added .5 mm of insulation is a bonus with my long tube headers.

I believe TR55IX = iridium, TR55GP = platinum, TR55 = copper.

The otvc ones are msd? Also so what if in a year they start falling apart and i try to exchange them, how hassle free is your policy?

Contact me and it's as simple as that. No hassle policy. I ask you to send me the wire is all and I reimburse your shipping. I have a record of you buying it so there arent any questions.

Yes the OTVC ones are MSD 8.5mm Superconductors. Check my feedback and trader rating. I do right by the customer.
