Smile Bearings-OEM or aftermarket?

Hi guys,
Its been a while since I posted....I was curious as to how many of you have used after market wheel bearings as compared to oem and where to get some aftermarket ones that are of good quality without the oem price tag?
Thanks,
db

I can't really comment since I haven't replaced my wheel bearings yet (I have only 74 miles on my 2007) but when I bought new bearings for my 98 YZ250 I used Pivot Works and I really like them so far.

I've used All ***** bearings in the past. They aren't expensive (about $15 a wheel) but they are pretty good quality and are fully sealed. You can get them at www.rockymountainatv.com.

I've used SKG in all sorts of applications. Work fine. Are the OE bearings expensive or something?

Thanks for the replies...The OEM ones with seals cost over $50 plus shipping where I have seen sets on ebay for less than $25 shipped so I was curious. I will check those places you listed and go from there. I found a used hub and the bearings were toast so I need new ones for a spare set of wheels I am building.
Thanks,
Davebert
