Default Ngk wires hold up well?

So I've got a bad spark plug wire, and I'm about to order new ones. I'm trying to stay cheap and go with Ngk, those of you who have them how are they holding up?? I'm not driving it too much lately so I'm trying not to dump a on of money into an easy job. I see a lot of people had good results with these initially, how about a year or 2 down the road?

I've had them on a D1 for about 1 year (5000 mi). Fine so far.

We put NGK wires on my dads d2 about 45000 miles (4 years) ago, and have not had a problem with them.

They were a good price too, I will probably get some for my D1.

Had my NGK wires for five years and they seemed fine until it was time to change the plugs, then I broke a couple of leads (person who installed them did not use dielectric grease).

I am going to pick up my Kingsborne 8mm leads/wires today and give them a whirl

Seems people have good reviews about them, you can choose your own colour and all that for $35 (less shipping).

I have had good luck with my Kingsborne 8mm wires. Can't beat them for the price!

ngk plugs are doing well for me thus far and its been about 5000 miles since replacement. no problems. no more misfire codes since i replaced them. Theres a lot of rover techs that swear by bosch 4+ plugs. The ngk plugs come pregapped at 0.032 and i know these trucks have the gap posting under the hood and says 0.034-0.038 so its strange but im not having any issues with a smaller gap. Wires are just as important. 8mm is the way to go.
