Cheapest place to find ngk platinums or coppers

I am looking for ngk plugs for my max. I would like to go somewhere to buy them locally if possible. Someone in a forum said they got them at O'Reillys. Is this true. If not locally, and websites with them cheap. Any information appreciated.

I have found that most Nissan dealers have them priced very reasonable. Much cheaper then Auto Parts stores.

Ebay is also your friend.

O'Rielly's have the stock NGK Laser platunims for about $9.85 apiece. At least that's what they cost here in Austin. The dealer here want's about $16 apiece. If you think they are easy to change and don't mind changing them at 30,000 miles then save the money and get coppers. On the other hand, if you think it's a real )@&@ to change the plugs, go with the platinums. You can't go wrong with stock NGK's.

thanks guys, I check O'Reilly's and they are 9.89 a piece. I think I'll go with the coppers. Hopefully, NAPA or Advance will have them. I appreciate all the help.

I gapped mines to .55, my car sounds crasy, but it works, no codes. Its been gapped like that since like the end of autoumn, I think when it gets hotter around here things will change, My car takes so long to warm up also, U guys think something will break at this gapping?
