Hey Shep,

They are solid silver wires and last until they are near nothin.  I swap my 
positive and negative wires with each batch so that my wires wear evenly.  

Hope that helps!

        Thanks, so I don't have to worry about wiping off the silver plating? 
Do the wires have to be replaced every so often, or are they solid and will 
last until very thin?
