Default Help me read my spark plugs

Well I'm not expert on reading spark plugs, so anybody wanna give me a hand? These are NGK spark plugs, about 2 or 3 weeks old with about 800-1000 miles on them.

Does your car burn oil?

Now that you got the close-ups on there, no, it doesn't look like it's burning oil. Those plugs look like they're in good shape to me, except... is that rust on there? And maybe it's just me, but the gaps look a touch on the large side.

Just out of curiousity, why are you posting these? Are you just wondering what kind of condition they're in, or are you trying to diagnose a problem?

Yeah, they look pretty good. That brown/rust color is Ok.

Put your camera at the tailpipe and see how much dark smoke you are getting.
