Are the NGK spark plug wires THE SAME AS the OEM spark plug wires?
Can someone confirm if the OEM spark plug wires are the same as the NGK ones? A couple of older threads mentioned they might be the same but I didn't see any definite confirmation.

A local dealership is charging $50 for the OEM wires. At that price, I might as well get the Magnecor ones for $60 at Mazdatrix or order the MSD ones for $60 from BHR. But partsgeek.com has the NGK wires for $21.75 and UPS ground shipping is $6.95.

The NGK "ZE81" part number is the OEM spark plug wire set.

I ordered the NGK at partsgeek.com using regular shipping and it only took 2 days to arrive! I'm going cheap this time, but I'll buy the BHR ones from Charles at a later date.
