Default Header installation

I will be installing headers on my 02 Z in the next few weeks and I had some questions. I bought a set of used Dyantech Supermax headers from 01TA and they should be here tomorrow. I am putting in new TR-55 plugs and I was wondering if I should get new wires also? If so what wires are recommended. The car has 57,000 miles and I don't know if they have been changed. Also, is there anything else I should replace when I have everything apart?

Thanks,
Jason
