Source & part number for NSK bearings?
Looks like it's time to replace the bearings. Anyone have a source/part number for NSK rear wheel bearings? I understand these are the OEM manufactured bearings before they are re-branded to Honda. I checked the regular spots (Oreillys/Autozone/Napa/Rockauto) but no one seems to carry an NSK for the S2k.
Any reason to get the Honda branded bearings over NSK or Timken or National, such as warranty, better quality control, etc?
I'm going to go with OEM hubs. For those shopping, the best price I found them at was Majestic Honda for $131.33 per wheel.

I found the NSK bearing part number (W0133-1621849) on partsgeek for anyone looking. It's currently running $50 per bearing there. Interestingly enough, I found the NSK factory locations. I'm guessing the few complaints I've seen about NSK replacement bearings may be because they were produced in different countries, and the bearings that came with the car were produced in Japan.

I have been running NSK bearings and doorman hubs I bought off Ebay for 4 years now. They're still holding up after ~50k miles. I'll let you know when one of my rear wheels falls off mid corner

Got my first 2 NSKs off ebay. They're legit. Bought my next 2 from RockAuto and they were even cheaper. $26.79

My Dorman hubs lasted maybe 15k miles, with one season of autocross before I have the squeak of a failing bearing. The shop said the hub was bad . Dorman is fine for light driving but not heavy driving like autocross or track days . Ordered oem hubs to replace .

Have your OEM hubs lasted longer under similar circumstances?
