Read this = HERE and some other pages like it. Personally I would stick with SKF or whatever Brickewerks sell (as they don't ever sell owt that is not good quality). The slight saving buying cheaper just ain't worth the risks (imho).

MEYLE (Wulf Gaertner Autoparts AG) are a long established German supplier of quality products to the industry BUT (I might be wrong when I say this) I believe most of what they sell isn't actually made by them...they are many a supplier rather than a manufacturer.

There in lies the problem...although probably fine, Meyle bearings could be German this week or maybe from Asia next, who knows...The degree of quality is based on their name..good as it is.

Why risk it, stick to a quality parts supplier

Again, we come back to knowing the brands, what is good and what is not and this is why the default advice is Brickwerks because Simon has already vetted the quality of his parts in his own workshop.
Although...if you are savy, you may well find the same brands cheaper elsewhere but that will take some knowledge and effort.
