sumitomo is tire company in japan so maybe they make the rubber jacket for the wire. i believe sumitomo makes the dunlop tires for their market or something like that, they are related somehow.

Probably would have been ok, but I decided to go with Bosch because they are a good quality brand in just about every item they manufacture. These were abou $40 I believe from Autozone. All in all, I think that wires from a good brand (Bosch, Autolite, NGK, OEM etc) will do you just fine. What do OEM wires cost anyway? I didnt even think of them as an alternative until now...probably too expensive.
the oem wires are about $60 or so for an ex and less for lx/dx models. i don't trust the $30 wires that autozone sells. i would not have used platinum plugs let alone bosch in a honda. if the ngks are not instock i would use denso copper plugs. hell you could have bought the ngks from honda for cheaper than what you paid for those bosch +4s.
