If you need something cheap and the car is stock then you should be ok with em.

I picked up my MSDs for 50 bucks so it is not that much more expensive to get a good set of wires.

Are you talking about their Opti- Sparkomatic or whatever they're called? If you don't have the money to buy the better ones and you need wires then go get them. If you think your wires have soaked up too much oil and crap then do what you have to do. I've been a broke azz before. They also sell Accel and Bosch if you're worried about the cheapies. You can also get a hold of your local speed shop, I think I paid $55.00 for my MSDs. The cheap wires will be easy to install seeing how they're only 7mm. Do what you can afford to do and do it right the first time.

i put on one of there coil wires and my car would only idle at like 400. I then put back on the stock one and it came back up to normal idle. I guess that shows the quality that they are.

Do a search. I have read posts where people have used them and not had a problem.

I had the Bosch premium plug wires. They were fine for the 2 years I had them, then 6 months after I got my LT's, they started burning that summer, and the coil wire went bad too.

I picked up a set of Autolites wires from Autozone one time in an emergency, and they turned out to be a pretty decent wires. I believed they're priced about the same as their own brand.
