Based on the description and photo, they appear suspiciously similar to these:

It's likely HKS plugs are just rebranded plugs already available in the market...

My plugs after 102,000 miles

The 3 that have somewhat of a tip left are about .055" and the other 3 are about .070". Better Idle and runs much smoother!

I don't like the look of this plug at all! Do you remember what spot it came out of?

yeah, passenger rear. It looks different because I have oil on the plug. 3 out of my 6 plugs had oil on the top side of them:

The oil just dripped onto the ceramic on this one. I put oil on another one to make sure and it looked the same. Thanks for watching out.

Did mine today. They didn't look too bad. Out of gap.Driver's rear had oil around the threads, but rest of it looked OK.Is this a normal deal??

Feels more peppy and seems to be a little smoother.

hmm,

I was thinking more cylinder running lean then the oil buildup. Hard to judge over the web.

yeah, does look like that. I used to race MX and if you are running lean, your plug will get dark like that.
