Where does everyone buy their plug wires for a VX?

I've got a 93' and I need advice on where to buy plug wires. I've been using aftermarket for about 6 months and now I'm getting a miss. I've swapped in a spare coil, igniter, cap, rotor, etc.
One of the connectors on the aftermarket is loose and crappy.
I'm gonna price the stealership tomorrow.
What are OEM? Honda? NGK?
Thanks
B

I got the best ones from NAPA. I only replace wires every 100K or so. They're well-insulated and cut to the proper length. I've never had a NAPA plug wire go bad on me.

I like the Honda OEM plug wires the best!!! I tried several others but none were as good as the stock Honda's!

Re: Where does everyone buy their plug wires for a VX?

Good info. I always forget about napa, they don't have one in my town. Anyway, do you go to the dealer to buy the genuine honda stuff or do you have a weblink?
I think the majestic honda place has them for like $55 or so; but they are Sumitomo. I don't know if that is stock or not?
Thanks

The last time I bought them i think they were around $60.00 from the dealership. I can't remember if they say Sumitomo on the wires or not? I will check after work.

partsgeek.com has a great selection of parts for Japanese cars. Give them a
call for advice but I believe the Seiwa wires are the original equipment and
cheaper than the dealer.

Get the OEM wires if you can, if not go NGK. I got mine from my mechanic, but I'd prefer to buy from rockauto or majestic honda. Others above noted better buys, though.
