NTY brand hub assembly

Had anyone had any experience with this brand before? They're not the cheapest I can find about but don't break the bank by any means.

NTY is a large Chinese manufacturer that supplies most of Southeast Asia and the Mid East. That's all I've got.

With any luck, smooth and well greased. Hopefully not full of metal shards.

They arrived.

The good points

They spin as freely as you'd expect a bearing packed with grease to spin.
They fit perfectly into my spare wheel.
The machining rings do not wobble when rotating so look to be straight and true.

The bad points

The outer edge when span isn't perfect showing less tollerances where it isn't crusial.
The inner machined edge that the dirt seal sits against isn't perfect so when span, you can see little fluctuations where the gap between metal and rubber increases then decreases.
A few heat marks in the metal

What matters most is that they fit in where they should and last. If they survive 2 years then they will surpass a lot of the "quality" parts we receive nowadays.
