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.

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.

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.
