Look at the porcelain, it will be black if too rich, white if too lean and a nice golden brown color is what you're looking for. also examine the electrode and look for chipped off places or pieces of aluminum.

Just keep in mind that white plugs are not always a lean sign. It takes a thousand miles or so for them to start to tan. Too many people put new plugs in and check them a week later, then get scared when their still white. just FYI
