    Wheel bearings... A cheaper alternative?

    Need two of these - 30x55x13 (http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scrip...idproduct=4515)

    And probably two of these - 25x52x15 (http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scrip...idproduct=3015)

    Anyone know of a cheaper alternative? I can find stuff on ebay but who knows if it's good enough quality for my intended use or not.

    There's a guy in CA who does aftermarket MV bearings that are better than oem. A set of two for the rear wheel ran me $60 shipped.

    3-4, who's counting.

    And they're good stuff. I use them in all of the SV's wheels.
