Anyone heard or have OBX spark plug wires (10 mm)

I was just wondering if these wires are pretty good or not ? Would u recomend them ?

I heard they were pretty good. My friend had NGK's on his accord and he switched to the obx and noticed no difference in power so i think they are about equal to NGK's. For 10mm plug wires...that is pretty big.

10mm is the insulation... I've seen a 11.5mm wire with insulation partly removed, along side some cheap 7.5mm wires also with the insulation partly stripped... the internal wire size is the same. There may however be a difference in the quality of the wire... but I stick with my Custom set Of 8.0mm Accel.

i wouldn't waste the money. NGK are shit anyway. how to tell how good wires are is how many ohms of resistance per foot they have. the lesser the better. msd have 40-50 ohms per foot. NGK is in the hundreds. check this out:

unless you are going to get good plugs like magnecor or msd stick with stock.
