Default Magnecore spark plug wires

I have these wires on my motor from the previous owner when I bought the car at 80k. When should I replace them? Or should I even replace them?

If they're still within spec, don't bother. You can test them with a multimeter to make sure they are within the specified resistances.

Replace them when you replace your spark plugs. Go with NGK or OEM, best for imports.... stock or not.

WTF? You obviously don't know what Magnecor is. Magnecor wires will last the life of the engine and probably longer. The only time you replace them is if you rip out the boots, if rubbing, heat, or vibration causes damage to the insulation; basically from misuse or a bad installation. These are the only legitimate performance wires out there. It's get these or stick to NGK or OEM.
