does anyone know the proper name for the rubber bits that you use to run wires from un-water proofed bits of the cars into the inside of the car?

i call them rubber grommits but cant find any on ebay...

as you can gather im really really terrible at describing things

Or Sleeved grommets, if you want proper water proofing, normal gromets are really only best for anti chafing.

Whilst the quality comment may have some prevelance, by the time you pay postage on the VWP ones it really hits the price. Unless your ordering other items and they can combine the postage.
