None that I would trust to recommend to anyone.Are you aware of any reliable source for them?
Unless I have hands on them, to personally inspect them, I would steer clear of NGK, and heed their warning of knock off's.

I am picking up a set of the NGK CR8EHIX-9 Iridium's today at an Advanced Auto Parts store by me. They are listed by NGK as one of their retailers. So they must be getting them direct from NGK. I will post pictures of what I get.None that I would trust to recommend to anyone.

NGK USA doesn't list them as a retailer on their list:With a little advice from Mellow, I ordered my iridium NGK's from Rock Auto- they were about half the price.
I have no idea but the plugs in the poster aren't iridium. It probably wouldn't hurt to make the same checks anyway.Are the iridium the ones being counterfeited?
Standard: 8000 milesCurious to know what your replacement schedule was using the standard spark plugs and what you expect it will be using the iridium plugs.
It's my understanding a plug that has "Japan" stamped, and where the "P" has an underscore, is a fake

Thanks ... I'm only going by what is written in the photos for this post ... check bottom left photoYour understanding is wrong I am afraid to say.
The underscored P is normal for these plugs.

+ 1.Despite what the Honda recommendation is, spark plugs are replaced much sooner than necessary by many people in my opinion.

Iridium: More than 8000 miles
+1. I've used NGK Iridium CR8EHIX-9 on two ST11s for about 150k miles. I changed them at ~90k miles and they looked perfect.100,000 miles
Long-life platinum and iridium spark plugs will typically last up to 100,000 miles or longer provided the engine isn't using oil or doesn't spend a lot of time idling.
That's not my words it's off the internet but I have seen maintenance schedules on autos and many do not replace plugs for 150k. No points, condenser, no ignition wires (on most) plug last forever (almost) my how far we have come in my life.+1. I've used NGK Iridium CR8EHIX-9 on two ST11s for about 150k miles.

and just think, you can hold a device in your hand that makes phone calls without phone cords, take and process photos, process emails, do live video conference calls, pay "money" at grocery stores and gas stations, get money out of cash machines, perform bank transactions, watch TV and videos, view home security cameras in real time, listen to music, record the steps you take each day, unlock doors, wake you up, ad nauseum.my how far we have come in my life

All that utilizing a computer more powerful that what was onboard the Apollo spacecraft.
Can you post a picture of the gap/tip, I'd like to see a closer view of it to verify if I can see a weld or not
