Black Spark Plug Wires?

I'm doing a tune up on my GTA really soon and I'm looking for a good set of 8.5mm plug wires to replace the OEM 7.5's But the only ones I can seem to find in that diameter are red, blue, yellow, etc. It may seem trivial to some, but I hate seeing brightly colored plug wires in an otherwise clean engine bay. It just looks tacky. So if anyone knows a company that makes quality 8.5mm wires that are black, that would be awesome!

My MSD wires are black, but have grey boots on them.

I just bought these plugs wires and I'm very happy with them. I have the 8.8 Accells....in yellow. The yellow looked like *** on my engine...so I went with the black MSD's, and they look great

You might want to give these a try. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SBC-C...mZ260116323961 I bought the blue ones for mine. They also sell the crimping tool for about another $12. Seemed like a good deal to me.
