They are priced as genuine, but those are not the correct plugs for the car.

I've been stung with counterfeit spark jobs bought from a different seller (Welljob) in China. I will NEVER buy anything from eBay again.

Just to darn risky IMHO

What I meant was that they are not the OEM denso plugs. I didn't look at the ngk website. Why would you not go OEM if I might ask?

I’d be weary of NGK spark plugs on eBay. I got a set in my hands that where for a Honda K24 a few month ago. They where alarmingly similar but the embossed script on the thread body didn’t look familiar to me so I sent them to NGK for inspection and they confirmed that it was a counterfeit set.
I reported the seller to eBay and gave negivtive feedback. eBay didn’t even bother to write me back, they just disregarded it apparently. The seller gave me some BS story that basically admitted guilt and there approach to confuse buyers.

All good Lou, i still don't know what the 2 side grounds do, to me it looks like it would shroud the spark. RR sell NGK with just a single ground electrode anybody got any thoughts on this.
