R50 plug wires

for the r50 owners:

where did you get replacement spark plug wires, and how much did you pay for them.

so far my best option is the kingsborn ones from outmotoring for $70. anyone know of a better deal or another brand?

UPDATE: I just recieved and installed the jackson racing wires. got them from moss mini, much to my surprise, i recieved them the day after i placed the order, so thumbs up to moss mini!

these are high quality wires, excellent for the price. fit is perfect. i definitely notice a smoother idle with the new wires and plugs (ngk irridiums), and a little crisper acceleration.

all told, very pleased with the product, and would recommend them to all r50 owners.
