According to the dealer, naturally, they are worth the extra. Still went with AllBalls, though.....

Wheel Bearings
imported post
Are OEM Honda wheel bearings worth the extra $$ or are the alternative aftermarket parts as good? I plan to keep this GL for a long time so I think OEM might be worth the $$, Any thoughts on this? Where can I get em if not and any info would be great i.e part #'s and mfg. Thanks Ride On

Well Honda certainly doesn't manufacture their own bearings. I've always used bearings from a bearing supply house and never had a problem. Buy a name brand, NTN, SKF and you'll be fine.
Bearings have a number on them to which they are manufactured. Get the number or take the bearing in and they will match you up for a lot less $$$.

Honda dont make the bearings, so you could say the OEM ones are really aftermarket anyway. Honda buy them in from various bearing makers, Koyo, Nachi & others.

Make sure you change out the race if you don't use the same type of bearings.
