Stick with a good brand name like Timken, National (Federal Mogul), SKF, or NTN, they may get bearings from overseas, but at least they have a good quality standards.
The set of sh*tty bearings I recieved as 'Made in America' were Federal Mogul with CHINA stamped into them and were sloppy in the race right out of the box.
The guys at a good bearing store can help you avoid potentially bad bearings as they know what is good and what needs a lot of replacing.
