Question Whats the best plug wires?

I am going to buy new wires tonight online, what should I get the stock replacement NGK or should I step up and get Racing Beat wires? Are the RB wires going to help me at all? I could get 2 sets of NGK for the price of one set of RB. BTW I only have a stock ignition as of now. Oh ya, what about plugs? NGK stock or platinum, or HKS Iridium?

Where did you by those and how much did they cost? Do you just run stock NGK plugs?

Edit> I just found NGK platinums super cheap, so I will use those. Should I go with new stock wires or will I benefit from using 8-10mm wires?

I think Icemark is running the Iridiums in the leading positions, he said he's getting better throttle response & plug life...$35 apiece, though...Don't know what wires he's running....

Plug wires are plug wires. No need to buy anything exotic. Tried 1 set of Iridiums and lost the trailing #1 in 550 miles. Probably just a bad plug, but back to the stock NGK's for me.
