Default Whats a good spark plug wireset

im not wanting to buy any custom expensive stuff and i dont have see the point in buying "performance" wire as my truck is stock. just need new wires that are equal or better than stock and doesnt cost no more than around $40.
what do guys recommend?

napa are good, autozone has a set of 8mm's for 45 bucks. Only problem i'v had out of them is when they'er on the plugs for along period of time you need to use a pair of needle nose or sparkplug wire removing tool other wise you're going to rip the boot off

You can get MSD street fire 8mm plug wires for around that price.

Magnecor.

I have a set of NAPA Belden wires. $35 and good quality. Dont waste your money on MSDs like I did, these NAPAs do the same thing.

cmckenna? did a post about plug wires a while back that was pretty informative. He suggested Magnecor and Taylor Cable and basically said everything else was made by the same company and was not very good.
