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....

Drooze...what is the date on the packaging or bearings?
Many high performance bearings that contain an aluminum layer, will get surface corrosion if they are stored improperly and have even seen this happen on new boxes were the bearings came wrapped in plastic.
