Pre-pressed Hub Assemly options?

Just an FYI, there many Chinese counterfeit bearings out there with the Koyo name on them, the most telling factor of the bearing being counterfeit is price, normally for a genuine Koyo bearing alone without the hub the price should be around $80.

I got it from Rockauto and it was over $80 so hopefully it's the real Mccoy. You can get the whole assembly in the same brand for the same price but the picture shows nothing stamped onto the bearing.
 
It arrived and looks pretty real to me. :D

Hopefully get it installed this weekend.

A bit more info on this, the Beck/Arnley box with just the bearing & seals says Made in Japan on it. The same brand with the completed assembly says China. The Japan one looks very well made.

Today I got the old bearing and race completely off the hub and cleaned the hub up. Got it mocked up for pressing in but I want to compare it to the one I pull off for peace of mind. It does look like someone replaced the bearing on the hub I'm using at some point as it had some gouges under the bearing that I did not put there.
