Default spark plug shortage?

I ordered NGK TR55 plugs from jegs and they're saying min 2 weeks back order. Summit no longer carries em, neither do SLP, RKSport even. Whats the deal? I was hoping to put them in this weekend, let alone not even getting them for the next two!

TR-55 are the right ones. They make different ones for different applications. Like the TR-6 for Forced Induction.
