3 out of 4 of them have this tanish brown ice tea color on the rim. These spark plugs are less then 20,000 miles old.

are they okay?

Bosch Platinum +3 plugs from pepboys.

The electrodes now have the same look as the rear drums. It has a rusty brownish color, but its not rust.

I remember when i replaced the OEM sparkplugs with those. The OEM ones were totally burnt looking on the electrode. It also had the same brownish color on the Rim but it was darker.

As soon as i put those New plugs in, I floored it from a stop and was able to chirp my tires a healthy amount. (Something that couldnt be done with 20k old OEM sparkplugs). NOTE* I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC!!!!

Bosch plugs suck. But that pic you showed is normal. Just some scorch marks.
