Default Best place to buy parts *BUDGET*

Hey, it's about time I buy new sparkplug wires, lol, but a lot of performance aftermarket ones are UBER expensive!

I was wondering, I'm going to try to look up the stock specs on the resistance (ohms) of the stock wires and find the prices on ones that are slightly better, not looking for some major performance upgrades right now. But if any of you can help with suggestions for where to purchase good quality ones at a good price, please please let me know. All advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hm, about to order a set of wires from summit, but don't exactly like the $8.95 "handling" fee. Never knew "handling" a set of wires would cost as much as getting a Springfield Armory M1A shipped to a local pawn shop...
