When to replace plug wires?
When are people replacing their spark plug wires. How long do the OEMs last. Mine are 6 years old now. Do they need replacing and with what? OEM, after market, EvoSport?

Seems a lot of people really like their EvoSport plug wires. I ran a set for about two years until they cracked and threw CELs. The codes were misfire. I switched back to OEMs.

OEM
if not abused will last the life of the car.
Properly removed at plug changes and short of setting them on fire they will outlast the engine.
oem are $160 a set even if you did abuse them
$480-700 is sheer folly besides being a waste of money

Has anyone bought a set of Bosch wires from this company? I want to confirm that the Bosch are actual OEM, and not OEM "like".
I bought a set of wires from parts.com and they ended up being aftermarket which didn't fit properly (some wires were too short).
Hoping to avoid the same scenario.
Thanks

A full set of 16 will run you $189.88 from europartsdirect.com. Thats pretty cheap!

Correct, there is no recommended interval, nor would I replace them if they were not causing misfires. As stated they will last quite a long time if properly removed at each plug service.

I was wondering which set are the Bosch ones on europartsdirect. I see OPparts, Karlyn, and Beru. They're priced at $131, $187, and $168. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
P.S. What spark plugs would you guys recommend?

Rock Auto has them for $176.79 (BOSCH Part # 09850) and if memory serves, you can find a 10% discount code pretty easy and apply it. I did this a few months back.
