I had two sets of sets of hubs at one stage. One on the car and one getting new bearings.
Went through 7 sets of bearings - using standard wheels.
The move to 5x114.3 came with bigger hubs and bearings, but even the newer 5x100s are much better than the old ones.

which car did you try em on? Also 7 bearings? In how many yrs? Cuz if you gotta replace bearing that much, there's something wrong. Even w my 17x7.5 w crazy offset plus half dozen track time in summer, it lasting me for 4 yrs.
Friend's GC6 on track Hoosier R series, summer Potenza RE series and winter some kind of Pireilli. Track close to dozen time in summer plus auto-x half dozen times, 3~4 times in winter and hub lasted him 9yrs (close to 10 yrs)... & MMP track isn't slow corning and it require pretty hard braking.
