For a 12v, www.magnecor.com has custom fit 8.5mm wires . . .
They are of good quality with silicone boots for both the plug and the coil. My only complaint with the Magnecors is that they can change resistance when you move them around, because the wire does not have a great connection with the boots. My mechanic saw changing resistance while trouble shooting an intermittant misfire, so we switched to OEM-style boots. While we still had the misfire after switching, we improved the situation by setting off the Check Engine light far less frequently. I still have my Magencors and will likely give them a second chance after my Bosch plug wires get old.
While the OEM-style boots are far superior, they cost probably triple the price. If you want the OEM-style plug boots, you can buy either the Audi OEM plug wires or better-insulated wires by getting the Bosch ultra-premium plug wires (which interestingly enough use the OEM Beru plug boots--first time I have seen direct rival German companies using each other's components.)
