I know thats what the LOOK like, Im glad someone else came to that conclusion and Im not just a COMPLETE moron.

Those bearings are BRAND NEW Out of the Plastic !

Its something in the way they are treated. They are ACL Racing Bearings Made in Australia

These are AFTER they were cleaned with tet and scrubbed dry.

The bearings and all their sisters brand spankin in the plastic look the same , except in all there is variation on the coating/heat treating, the backs are BROWN like BURNT heat Brown......

But they are BRAND New....
