Factory Honda spark plug wires last generally over 100,000 miles. If they have the numbers printed on them (1, 2, 3, 4) they are the factory wires. A friend had a Del Sol with 150,000 miles that just started to give him starting issues, low power, bad fuel economy. His spark plug wires were bad. I wouldn't recommend waiting that long. Spark plugs are usually good for 60,000 to 80,000 miles. They should be checked and gapped every 30,000 to 40,000 miles though. I only use Honda Factory spark plug wires. The ones you buy at an aftermarket parts store are always hit and miss, and sometimes won't make it to even 40,000 miles. They're much cheaper, but they perform like they're much cheaper. For the spark plugs in Hondas, I always use NGK spark plugs. Hope this helps.

Do the spark plugs wires need to be replace when replacing spark plugs?

No, they don't necessarily have to be replaced. However it is usually a good idea to replace the wires along with the spark plugs. As the wires age and go through heating cooling cycles they get stiff and brittle. As you flex the wires to remove them from the spark plugs the inner conductor often breaks causing a misfire. Also when you pull the spark plug boots off of the spark plugs the connector often can break loose and stay on the spark plug, thus ruining the wire.
