Anyone use this wire before?

I’m looking for 0 gauge wire for my car install. Has anyone used this wire before? They say that it’s heat, gas, and oil resistant. It’s pretty inexpensive so that’s why I’m considering it.

Its not flexible at all. I wouldn't recommend it. Go with Welding Cable Royal Excelene Welding 2/0. That will be the same size of real 1/0

I would go with the 2/0. The 1/0 is a little smaller than sky high 1/0

I went with this. After shipping costs are added in from wire and supply this stuff was less expensive. Pretty flexible too.

Do you guys know where I can get some in a store. Don’t want to pay a lot for shipping

You'd rather pay for retail markup?

The link in post six says free shipping and a lot of companies offer free shipping. I've found that if you simply ask for free shipping they'll usually give it to you.
