During a price search for some replacement spark plug wires, I found several sites that show NGK makes a direct replacement set (NGK p/n NX14). They run about the same price as the OEM ones the dealers sell. Are they actually the same animal in different boxes or is one better than the other?

I bought the NGK set because at the time they were considerably less expensive than the Nissan ones ($15 - $20, IIRC). To be honest, I don't know if they are better or worse, but the construction is slightly different and they look pretty! laugh I do think the Nissan ones are probably made by NGK, but usually OEM is not the same as what companies offer for aftermarket replacements. All the sets that I saw advertised as high performance or such were just way too expensive. I think truckperformance.com has some now though that come in different colors and are less expensive than soemthing like the HotWires or whatever they are. Here's where I ordered the NGK's from. $55 and free shipping...I don't know if that's better than the price you've found.

$50 here and free shipping too.

They have a local distributor in NorCal and I got the parts in 1 day. I ordered wires, cap and rotors from them. Great service.
