Any to choose from or just goto TPS for OE wheel bearings?

 

 

Ive heard these are decent.  How much are TPS asking?

Are you looking for front or rear wheel bearings? 

Rear bearings as my old Fabia VRS has, bearings fitted in rear hub (with magnetic ring) E-Bay £23.50 each, compared that to Skoda (same thing) £82.00

A new bearing is a new bearing regardless if it's a joe bloggs or brand name (my opinion of course).

Will those cheap ones last 100k? discuss

Front bearing.

Provided the FAG ones are genuine (there are a lot of fakes about), they are OE quality.

Thats true

So you actually believe that for example cheap Slovakian bearings are going to be machined out of the same materials and to the same finish as a quality precision bearing?

 

Best stick with the likes of FAG, NTN, SKF, etc.

The originals have only lasted 82,000 miles, probably they used E-Bay seller when they assembled my car..LOL
