OEM colored spark plug wires

Anybody know where I can pick up a set of the OEM colored (JCW maybe?) spark plug wires? Obviously I know from the dealer but I had a recent bad experience with them and do not want to support their place with my money so looking for an alternative. I checked all the normal spots: alta, outmotoring, mini-madness, mini-mania, etc and every wants to sell the overpriced aftermarket ones........not needed. I dont need to waste money on stuff like that and was just looking to add a little color (blue) under my hood.
Thanks guys,
Steve

I am confused. Are you looking for the OEM stock color of wire, which is black or are you looking for stock type wire that is the OEM color of your car (blue)? By your last sentence in the post, I believe you are looking for a stock type wire but in a color that matches your car (blue).

You can get Kingsbourne 8mm aftermarket wires in various colors (such as blue) for about $40 a set (often cheaper). The Kingsbourne blue is similar shade as the blue of your car. Mini Mania as them for about $38 with their current 15% off.

Thanks for the clarification. I did not know Mini had blue colored wires available. $30 seems like a very fair price.
