spark plug wire types

Could someone please explain what the differences are between the different types of spark plug wires? How are they made, advantages, disadvantages, etc?

Thanks

Different metals have different levels of conduction. Also the amount of air in the core affects the conduction. Lastly, the bigger the wire the more current it can handle. Most of these difference may seem insignificant but can make a difference none the less. Hope this helps!

I was really looking more for the differences between resistor core, magnetic core, etc. Also how are they made?

Thanks
