so today i got off my highhorse and desided to do a tune up, so far i replaced the plugs, fuel, and air filters. i checked to see how much accel 8.5mm wires were, but there wasn't a listing for my car would the ga16de wires fit on my ga16i?

No, since the ga16de has the sparkplugs in the middle of the valve cover while the GA16i is on the exhaust side of the cylinder head. I suggest get some NGK (blue)wires from CAN tire.

why would they not work the plug cover should be the same size shouldn't they? how much do these ngk's go for?

Hey Rice Rocket, the wires for the GA16DE is too long (the end that connecs to the plug) to be used for the GA16i. It is better to use the appropriate wires to eliminate potential problems. As most members agreed that the stock wires, which I think is made by NGK, is good enough unless you have high HP engine. I bought my set at Canadian Tire for like $40 something. Cheaper than buying it from the dealership.
