Get Crane Cams spark plug wires for dirt cheap at optauto.com. Look in the clearance section there. If shopping elsewhere or want different brands, get MSD 8.5 mm wires.

nopi.com sells them pretty cheap. $35 ones are for LX/DX accords, EX wires cost ~$55-60.

because you will never get the quality of a oem or a ngk wire from a aftermarket company .... people have dynoed their cars with aftermarket wires and with oem wires and saw no gains when using the aftermarket wires

the size of the wire is just the protective heat resistant coating, not the actual wire itself. NGKs are 8mm which is a tad thicker than stock and is all you need. i like NGK over the OEM ones cause they blue looks nice. there are alot of cheap generic junk wires out there and alot of overpriced gimmicks.

Re: spark plug wires (jj84756)
Honestly I would stick with oem (which is ngk 
)because you're not only going to not really notice any performance increase going from a 7mm oem wire to a 8.5mm wire unless you're running serious power and or a upgraded ignition.
Check out http://www.importrp.com they have GREAT prices and awesome service:

That's a real good deal if it comes with installation.

Re: spark plug wires (Chiovnidca)
it doesn't come with installation but i figured it was a good deal cause that is a discounted price from some friends at o'reillys.
