Those bad boys are 10.4mm there is no way in hell your gunna need 10.4mm of spark plug wire.
OEM is the best for plugs and wires IMO.

I believe the Bosch triples are factory for the 1.8 16v. I bought Nuespeed MANY moons ago when I was under the impression red=fast. J/K

Neuspeed was in reference to plug wires, and Bosch was refering to plugs themselves.
The Bosch plugs mentioned above, F6DTC should be fine for your 16v. As far as wires go, its just personal preference. Most aftermarket wires are 8mm silicone coated wires, I doubt there is any difference between Neuspeed, Eurosport, and Bosch wire sets. As far as Autotech's 10.4 mm wires and Nology's wires, perhaps someone else can share some experience.
