advice on plugs plz.

I am looking to buy some new spark plugs, and i check on NGK websites there are like 5 types of plugs from cheap - not that cheap.
Types:
Standard
V-Power
G-Power Platinum
Laser Platinum
OE Laser Iridium
Iridium IX

Which one shoudl i get?
I heard NGK is the way to go for plugs, but is it worth the money to get the Iridium IX for like $9.42 each? Also, i don't have NGK wires... will the wires make a big different?

Also, which autopart stores will carry NGK parts or can i only get them online?

Not worth it for IX, IMHO, unless you are boosting. Standard (aka copper) wears down kinda fast, so I wouldn't get those either. Anything else should be fine for street driving without forced induction.

I ordered mine from Sparkplugs.com

I'm running NGK iridium plugs with NGK wires. It's not pointless, I do notice it works. For bigger spark go copper, for longer life go platnum, for big spark and longer life go iridium. I paid only $6 each for the NGK iridium plugs.
