Nope. The OEM sumitomo wires have proven to be BETTER than pretty much anything on the market. Smoother and marginally higher powerband.

Ebay? The Honda dealer? Google?

OEM honda wires are not too difficult to find.

An OEM tuneup kit is about ~$80 on ebay, plenty of great dealers on there. Might as well do the whole tuneup.

time and time again, over the years, tests have proven that you really cannot beat OEM Sumitomo wires.

They are cheap and out perform anything under $200

Of course you're all running just fine with X wires.

I'm simply stating that I've seen numerous Dyno charts over the years using new NGK, MSD, etc, and every time the 10 year old sumitomos did BETTER than the new performance wires.

Ebay is perfectly trustworthy, just buy from a reputable dealer. I've bought hundreds of items on ebay and never had a problem. Just don't buy from sellers with bad ratings.

I've ordered from Honda of Lemon Grove probably 6 times. They're perfectly trust-worthy:
