Default Thoughts on new Plug wires?

I have some extra $$$$, i am assuming that the wires in my 2000 SS are the stock wires.Should i buy new ones? Nothing wrong with the old ones.

Basically the lower the ohm/resistance number the better the electric current flow. If you tried to test a wire that was internally cut, or separated somewhere, it would have infinite ohms.
