3VZE 8MM Spark plug wires

Just a quick question... What brand wires do you all use? The only 8MM I could find was Accel cut to fit wires

Nothing wrong with the OEM Toyota wires. Very high quality, precut to the correct lengths, and comes with the clips to hold them out of the way already installed. Take them out of the bag, clip them to the brackets, plug em in, done. No fiddling with routing them and trying to keep the excess wire from touching something it shouldn't. Online prices pretty competitive with the premium lines from the parts stores, at least around here, and the parts stores don't generally come with all the harness clips.

Edit: No doubt NGK is high quality as well, but the wires I bought from Toyota are labeled Sumitomo, just for reference.

I don't think they sell the NGK 8 mm wires specifically for the 3vze. I have heard good results with the Accel cut to fit.

Cool, thanks. I figured if any, accel would probably be best, because I know they don't make specific 3VZE 8MM

That I will. I also got new Denso OE plugs, and a new cap and rotor. Should run a bit smoother.
