If they're good enough for you & Hyde, I don't know why anyone would spend twice as much for something else...

actually, i'm not sure where you guys get your wires from, but here in ontario OEM wires are probably the most expensive set you can find...that being said however, i went out and got some cheap ones and returned them right away...nothing fits like OEM...it's worth the money imho

Yes, there are several aftermarkets that are cheaper.
Nology are much more expensive than OEM.
OEM is not cheap, but they work and they fit.

i have the TRD wires on my car. they're a little more expensive, but the little handles are almost worth the extra cost.

The TRD wires are basically the OEM wires with a loop on the top of each plug to make removal easier:
