Default spark plug wires 98 coupe

just wondering why at autozone, performance wires cost 99 bucks while on ebay they cost 25 + shipping=35. I mean is there some sort of insulation difference or what?
the ones im looking at on ebay are these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...A1318
can someone tell me if im safe getting these?
thanks!

Get the OEM ones straight from Honda for ~$50.

so new wires offer no performance increase? i dont think the old ones are messed up or anything but i do think its been at least 50,000 miles since they were replaced

On my 02, I changed the plugs and wires at 95k, along with the timing belt. I did not notice any difference. Gotta love the Honda engineering; 100k miles and it still runs like new.
