Question need best place to buy this stuff and process

I did a search but honestly it got me no where. I am looking for:

1. Spark plugs(OEM) preferred
2. Wires all 6(OEM) preferred

I have a 96 ES300 with over 195k and upon having the valve gaskets changed it was determined my plugs and wires are the original set. Car runs excellent but figured I get new plugs and wires and at Advanced Auto OEM Denso are 6.99 each, Wires were like $45 one set that has 3 wires (Autolite) and like $15 for required other 3 wires total was like $145 . I want OEM cause even with 195k miles car runs very smooth.

already replaced within a year:

timing belt, water pump, cam seals, PCV valve, air filters 2x. EGR modular, VSV 1,front rotors/ ceramic pads

CAR HAS NO WARNING LIGHTS
appreciate any help at finding the OEM plugs and all wires at a good price so far invested like $2100 total including car purchase.

help please


TIA

Recommended OEM spark plugs are DENSO (PK20TR11) or NGK (BKR6EKPB11)

I got the NGK for my '97..it was about $125 for everything in the picture, but I'm confident the parts'll last quite a while.
(Though I never changed the fuel filter...it's still sitting around here somewhere)

I used NGK wires and Denso plugs. I bought the wires from AutohausAZ (they're currently $37 for your model year). And the spark plugs came from Amazon for around $50.
