Got 2 new front aftermarket brake rotors. I have some NOS front wheel bearings. I wanted to go with US made bearings. Do I need to remove the races in the new rotors and use the NOS bearing races? I guess my question is are all the bearings made the same so the race and bearing is compatible.

I would use the races that came with the bearings.

Since you have the MADE IN USA outer races, change them as Old Iron said. You've seen SOME junk parts from China? lol

I've seen a bearing race with a part line, not a strait line but where two peaces of metal had folded together, it was not solid.
I have seen bearing races cracked fresh out of the box.
