spark plug crush gaskets

Experience wish aluminum Italian engines included replacing the spark plug gaskets every time a plug was removed and retorqued. Does this apply to the Bosch plugs for 928s? If so, who carries the plug gaskets?

I reuse them until they look crappy.

New Bosch copper plugs are like $2, aren't they?

I just looked up the price if a single spark plug for a F355: $28.51

No wonder the OP with eYetAlian engine experience wants new crush rings
