Replacing plug wires? Honda wires or Auto Parts wires?

I will be replacing the spark plugs wires on my 2000 Honda Civic EX (159,000) this week. I called Honda to get a price on the wires and they're about 75 bucks. My dad works at an auto parts store and gets a very good discount. My question is...Is there really a difference between the Honda Wires and an Auto Parts wires? Will it be ok if I just get the wires from an auto parts store? There's a huge difference in price and I'm not really wanting to spend much money at the moment. Thanks =)

1. Premium - the best auto parts wires should be as good as Honda.
2. so get the cheeper ones. as long as you dont have a miss i wouldnt even change them. a car does not break down because of a bad plug wire
3. get the store parts.
4. Just get the Auto Parts one. Get a premium brand which will be less expensive and just as good. I've done it for years and haven't had a problem.
5. go with auto parts save you money
6. Not really, if you get a good set of wires from an autoparts store it will pretty much be like OEM Honda ones anyways. Dealers love to charge you lots of $$$ for even the smallest things, (I remember needing a bolt and the dealer wanted $8 for it...... 49 cents at home depot) you should be good to go with wires you get through your dad. You can also check out http://www.sparkplugs.com they also sell wires.
