Have you guys considered Taylor Spiro Pro 8mm wires? I got a set of those from the local O'Reilly parts store for less than 60 bones. I think they can order them in any color, but don't take my word on this. I've always read on the boards that they're top-rated wires, which is why I picked 'em up :rockon:

next set i go w/ will be a set of the MSD wires... buddy i know at TEA in Bowling Green KY did an independant test on about 6 different wire sets... and the ohms on the MSD wires was only 30 ohms/ft, while the Taylors was 3,000 ohms/ft. this is testing all 8 and then averaging the results!!
