larger size is usually a bit less resistance and gives a hotter and/or more consistant spark. From some previous threads I've seen I believe that in tests honda OEM plug wires actually out performed all the aftermarket ones (except Nology I believe...)

OEM Sumitomo's are 7MM in size.. They perform like NGK no doubt about that.
