It's not exactly new for the OEMs to sell parts going "around" the brand.

If you have proof, please by all means, put it out there. I think you're making a lot of baseless assertions and spreading FUD in spite of what we do know about these parts. I've seen you do this before as well with the Bosch plugs. I just don't get it. You just cannot back your claims up.
Agreed. I'm in the Insurance industry (with a VERY reputable company), and we use OE replacement parts as opposed to OEM, ALL THE TIME. Our literature breaks down the details of OE v. OEM and how well OE parts can be certified. When I do this mod, I will be going with the TRW parts, worry-free over here.
