Where to buy OEM spark plug wires?
I bought xact spark plug wires (oem replacement wires from discount auto) about 4-5months ago and they have already crapped out on me. Does anyone know where I can find a GOOD quality OEM replacement? I searched countless threads about spark plug wires and found that OEM are the best, but could only find out where to buy the ngk blues, msd's etc etc.... I really would like to avoid paying $70 from the dealer but thats what i'll do if I can't get any feedback. Thanks!

i got the old ones from advanced auto parts(discount auto) and those were crappy quality. When i changed the plugs, the tops of the wires came apart and after 4months they are already bad (checked using the multimeter) so thats why i was asking if anyone knew of a different brand/better place.

I bought a set of exact wires from advance for another car I had a long time ago and I'll never buy them again. I didn't like how the ends was that fit over the plugs, pretty shitty IMO. Now for my civic I've only used honda ones, you can't beat they're quality, and the last set I got was for free, gotta love it when honda gives ya a free tune up

Depending on your application, the factory wires are made by Prestolite, if you find that choice.

They sell wires that are really good, and meet oem specs. Alot of people say they are good.

That's another choice. But try finding something of theirs for sale, besides tires, in the aftermarket.
