Braided plug wires

Anyone running a set of the stainless braided spark plug wires? I found a set at Mid-America for $99. I like the looks of them. Any downside to using them?

Big Blocks had them from the factory for radio suppression. I have them for the original look on my BB but any good set will work.
They do have eyelets for grounding to the rocker covers and distributor shielding. If they are not grounded then they serve no purpose ceptin' Bling.

Have at it. $99 for "looks" is a bit steep for me....

Someone needs to make 8mm braided wires for use with those who upgraded ignition.

These clearly have looms and wires designed for grounding the shielding...

"Have at it. $99 for "looks" is a bit steep for me." Huh? Yep, your right. So is 10K for a paint job, $450 for door panels, and 20 to 40K for 40 year old cars that ride like log trucks. It's all a bit "steep".
