Default Can someone analyze the spark plugs?

They were HKS one step colder plugs. I decided to swap em for the stock platinums. Upon going to pull them out, they were VERY loose. What would cause this? Not torqued down properly? Anyways, I popped them out and popped the new ones in. Car runs great.

Anything funny about these plugs? Running on the rich side maybe?

Thanks in advance...

As you already know, you are running rich.
