[TR] Front wheel bearings

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
Puzzling over the selection of front wheel bearings for my TR2. Have 
updated to discs, so thought I would re-do the hubs as well. Have 
considered using Timken, but they are at a real premium, around $100 per 
wheel. Not sure what the big three offer in their bearing packages, but 
they look like off-shore bearings with the exception of TRF which has a 
Timken package. Our local bearing house can offer Timken for a slight 
discount.
Should off-shore bearings be avoided? Bite the bullet and go for Timken? 
Wondering about other listers experiences.
Thanks in advance for any direction on this.
