What do you prefer?

I'm trying to select which brand of spark plug wires to buy. What's your guys' preference? Here's my preference.

Magnecor
Nology
NGK
TRD
OEM

If your car is at OEM settings, go with OEM. Don't waste your money.

If your car is slightly-moderately modified, go with NGK copper plugs (one step cooler), but they will only last 5-6k miles.

Other spark plugs are not recommended.

BDSL, he is asking about WIRES, not PLUGS.
... and copper should be replaced after 3000 miles.

I recommend OEM wires. There is no need for anything more.

I would recommend the NGK. I use to have the Magnacore wires but they didn't fit properly and I had to have one modified to make it work, I finally got fed up and got the NGK's. I really like them. I still have the magnacore one if any body wants them let me know you can have them for free the one that modified is broken again you would have to get that one fix tho. If you are local you can come by and pick them up. If you want them ship just pay me for the shipping.

OEM!

Anything else is a waste of money and/or a poor match.

NGK or Nippon Denso. I thought the wires were NGK anyways, but I guess I was wrong.

Thanks for all the feedback, and I have decided on NGK's. I still wanted some kind of performance wires, so I didn't go with oem and didn't go too far with the Nology or magnecor. Thanks again.

What kind of performance do you think the NGKs are going to offer that the OEM's could not?
