I had the Accel wires on my GSR and they were pretty good until one of the insulators cracked and I had to get a new set of OE wires.

Just go with NGK Blues. They are OEM spec. Honda ignition systems are proven.

No I was just looking. Does anyone know who sell the NGK blues you can purchase over the counter? Also, I've seen some red ngk wires B4. Are they good. I would put those on my B16 EF though.

Thanks

Although it wouldn't hurt to run the red NGKs, there's no reason on a stock motor (they cost more). You should be able to get the NGK blues from any auto parts store of if you look online I'm sure you'll find them somewhere.

If I was you though, unless you know your stock wires have cracks in the insulation, etc., I would test them with a volt/ohm meter to see if their resistance is within spec before you spend ~$70 on new wires.
