I've seen so many guys get burned by fake plugs from random sellers on Amazon or eBay. The counterfeit ones use cheap metal and the gap is never right, they misfire right out of the box. That arc damage picture is crazy, it's scary how close they can look to the real thing. I stick with buying from Summit, Jegs, or the local dealer now. The money saved isn't worth the headache of chasing a misfire that ends up being caused by the plugs themselves. Have you ever actually gotten a set of fakes yourself or just seen the warnings?

I have never encountered fake spark plugs. I buy from reputable suppliers. It is not worth the gamble and labor, to save a few bucks, to install 16 spark plugs that may not function properly.
