OBX makes a set for the Beta in Red, Blue, and Yellow. Find an OBX distributor and call them. You'll get them MUCH cheaper than the websites advertised price.

You want cheap in red, then get the OBX, but you get what you pay for. If you want high quality red, then get the Magnecor.

Mine are red, but you can get them in black as well. Don't bother with Magnecor's. The ones I got are just as good and much cheaper. I'm pretty sure Aurora offers a lifetime warranty as well. Just check out the site above.
There are, or at least used to be, a set of Magnecor's in blue, but they are 8mm wires, not 8.5mm wires (i.e. not "performance" wires). This probably wouldn't make much of a difference for a lightly modded car.

Yeah, those Aurora wires are $88.50 CAD, so they are only ~$65 USD. The checkout says it is only $5.00 CAD for shipping to the US, so that wouldn't be too bad, less than $70.00 USD. Maybe another group buy could be coming up...

I'm not saying Magnecor's are bad, far from it. I think they are excellent, but severly overpriced.
All I am saying is that when you can buy a product that is well made, is pretty much the same thing as the Magnecor's, and has a lifetime warranty, why spend a ton more money?
My experience with the Aurora wires has been very good.
I read a bit on both Magnecor's site and Aurora's. To me, Aurora comes across as more honest - it actually has a picture showing the construction of the wire, and in their FAQ they don't try to tell you that all other wires suck, just to take a look at the important features and make an informed decision. I couldn't find something similar on Magnecor. Magnecor keeps on talking about how everything sucks compared to their special core, without saying what it actually is. If it isn't a carbon core and it isn't a metal core, then what the hell is it? Water? I mean, come on, its not like there are all these different, alternative, cheap conductors of electricity.
Anyways, sorry to turn this into a rant. I just want to reiterate that I think Magnecor wires are excellent, just don't buy into the hype and pay a premium for it.

I feel the same way, why pay $125 or so for plug wires that will only increase performance by 1/10th of 1 percent?
Not worth it.
On the Aurora site, I couldn't find anything listing makes and models. How do you get wires made there?

Go to homepage, click catalog, then click the "Click here to view the Car/Truck Ignition Wire Set Catalog" link.
Then there is a column of manufacturers on the left, click on "Hyundai". It opens a pdf for Hyundai models.
http://www.auroraignitionwires.com/pdfs/Hyundai.pdf
Take the wire set number (95657) and put it in the box on the buy product page.
You can take it from there.
On a side note, Redz, should we move this out of the K-spec forum or close and start a new thread in the correct forum?
