Default aftermarket wheel bearings

It's time to replace my front passenger wheel bearing.
I'm using EF9 knuckles that require DA9/DB1 wheel bearings.
New wheel bearing from acura costs $115.
Found some Koyo wheel bearings for half the price.

Are aftermarket wheel bearings quality replacements? or Should i go with oem?
Just trying to do this right the 1st time. Thank You

If it's the same Koyo company that I'm thinking of (radiators etc...), they make tons of parts for Honda. Chances are they could be the very same parts, just sold directly from the original manufacturer...

Here is a good deal on the part directly from an Acura dealership...

Thanks for the link.

Can I use a ball joint press to install the new wheel bearing? If not, do you know of a good shop in the las vegas area with a press?

This is the only place I've found that would press bushings out/in for me. The charge $10 a bushing to remove/replace, so it should cost about the same if you could get the hub off. If not they may charge you more...
