The NGK wires are actually a upgraded wire, while the Vitek is just a covered stock wire. I would get the NGK.

Vitek sells wires in several different sizes. Most of which are upgrades over stock.

Vitek wires are more than a covered stock wire. The base wire Vitek uses is a higher grade than the NGK's. Vitek wires use a stainless steel core. Are you going to feel a difference? Probably not. But the Vitek wires do use higher quality materials, hence the price difference.

i just got some today

i just got the ngk wires purt on my car today and from the drive from the shop to my house i really couldnt tell a difference between the ngk and the stock ones. i guess i would need to get an ignition upgrade to really have felt the difference, for me the only plus side was the cool blu color.

Most ignition upgrades are just hype (stock vehicles)

Ignition and wire upgrades dont do crap unless:

1. The stock design sucks, or is in horrible condition to begin with
2. You are highly modded (NOS, Forced Induction, N/A)

I am not flaming you. I just think its sad that the general public gets misled by ludicrous claims from manufacturers about ignition upgrades adding 5MPG and 20HP. What they dont tell you is that they are taking a vehicle with a misfire and predetonation problem to begin with, and then comparing the results after they install their system. Or just flat-out lying.
