Copper Plug wires

Anyone using copper plug wires? I am thinking of getting a set of copper wires made to work with my Delteq ignition system. I talked with elite spark about a set of custom made wires and he mentioned he has copper wires using 10mm Insulation. I am a bit concerned I wil pick up some EMI problems with the radio and possibly the knock sensors but was curious if anyone was running copper and if so any problems? THe other option is a set of either 8.5mm or 9mm wires.

I think most after market wires use a nickel alloy or stainless steel for the conductor. Copper will cause too much RFI/EMI, even if spiral wound as is the standard method.
