Installed the V8R rear hubs last week, ran them at the track yesterday. So far so good, I was running the original Mazda hubs until now, no signs of failure but it seemed like good insurance. The black oxide coating is nice too.

I picked up a 513155 front hub for my 1990 NA Miata. Wondering if anyone can help me identify if it's genuine? It is not labelled Timkin anywhere on the part, and the bearing also has no markings. It came in the orange/black Timkin box from amazon, with a made in China label.
The thickness of the hub (where the disc brake and wheel sit against) is .2" or 7/32", which seems thin compared to photos of some others I have seen.
It also has the ABS ring on it, which I don't need. Any point in pulling it off?
Thanks for the help!

Amazon is notorious for selling off brand Chinese junk. That's probably what you have.

Vast majority of Timken, and most other brands of under car parts are made in China. Could be counterfeit, but probably not.

Our new heavy duty NA/NB hubs are made in China. Should have them around the end of the year.

Any thoughts on the hub thickness or removing the ABS ring?
My other option is a NAPA Proformer, part# BAP PBR930143.
