Are they supposed to be so rusted and crappy looking after such a short time?
I just put in some HT0s this evening and it feels better so I'm hoping the problem is now solved...
I was having issues w/ knocking before this swap. Justin @ VMP noticed it when I took my car in to get tuned.

Those spark plugs are perfectly normal. The tan colored deposits are not rust but a product of perfectly normal combustion. That color indicates that your air / fuel ratio is perfect. Nothing to worry about at all.

If you had a knocking problem, the tune has too much advance.
Did it only knock in really hot weather?
If that is the case,very little change will probabaly do it. (Or don't step on it in hot weather)

Plugs look good to me. The reddish color on the shafts of the plugs is fine. You have to look at the tips and electrodes. Those look fine in the pictures.
