I ordered a new set of plugs for the R5, fully aware that there may be counterfeit plugs out there.
I browsed EBay, saw some that looked very underpriced, so I passed. I chose a middle of the road price ($21 a pair to the door) from a large seller.
Interestingly, they arrived with this 'scan me' label on them. I actually did scan it, and it took me to the sellers site with a claim that they a legitimate NGK seller blah blah blah.
Anyone get caught up with fakes, and know how to spot them?

dont buy them online, easiest way.
I just get them from my local auto store or Amazon. Didn't know there was a fake market.
For my RD and Triple Autolite 4092 from NAPA or Autozone and for the RZs Advance Auto parts are my go tos. I buy in box lots.
