I have them and I bought them because of the color. I already had a high flow AC, V & H Shortshots, and a V & H Fuelpak installed. I did not notice any performance difference between the SE wires and the stock wires.

If you want to make a difference get the SE wires along with high output spark plugs and a high output coil. Even then you may only gain 1 or 2 HP

Doubt the plugs and wires would do anything with performance they might be higher quality and last longer but will not gain you anything in performance untill you have a crazy built engine and need different plugs/wires all together.

no benefit at all in fact when I had my bike dynoed, Doc took mine off and put the stock ones on before he began the tune.

I have a set of red. I can't say I noticed a performance difference. I like the fact that they are anything but basic black.

My orange set is more aerodynamic than the stockers. So is my bald-*** head.
