Are the Bosch Premium solid core wires?
I got a set of them wires paired with non resisitor NGK plugs ready to go in

Bosch describe the Premium wire sets as having Mag core conductors, which is apparently spiral wound nickel alloy (Elsewhere it says stainless steel). Obviously not copper. I read somewhere that the Premium Supreme have copper cores.
I was surprised to find this out myself having not researched this before I purchased!
But, these the Opti-Layer wires (09027) are recommended for my car in this guide:

I would like to have bought copper core wires with resistors built in as per originals. But now I have these wires, I think it may be just as well that I have resistor plugs?
In your case, not sure what it does to ECU and plugs if wire/plug combined resistance is lower than designers intended.
