Yeah. Stick with the OEM Honda ones. What REALLY matters is if you repack them well.

These wheel bearing are sealed, so there is no repacking necessary.

The difference between bearings of different prices are their manufacturing, and quality control. Despite the fact that Honda most likely out sources their bearings, they have been proven to be of high quality. People usually feel more comfortable with what they know will work, which is why the majority of people will recommend them without explanation.

Federal Mogul supplies many OEM manufacturers with bearings, chassis parts, seals, and other stuff, and they supply the same parts to the local auto parts stores through its subsidiary brands like BCA National, Moog, TRW, Wanger, and FelPro. They are the same parts obtained from the dealer. I recently bought BCA National bearings with full confidence because I knew this ahead of time. Hope this helps.
