Define "good". If you're doing it for the aesthetic then go for it. I mean heck they are cheap and they don't look to shabby.

good as in they wont crack as soon as i go over a speed bump.
im not looking for feather weights or Extremely strong wheels. i only need something that looks good and that will last. i do like they way they look, thats what fist caught my attention. but im afraid this will be the "you get what you pay for" being ~$80 a wheel. and if any one knows where i can find weights in these let me know thanks. |

Yes, they are good everday road wheels.
I like the first one, but the second one looks terrible dual drilled. |

I've owned two sets. Some of them are re-badged A-Tech wheels, which is a company out of Japan (although I'm not sure if they're manufactured there). If you look up A-Tech Finalspeeds you'll see some pics of the MB wheels.
I really liked mine. I had them on my xB and on my Prelude.

I just purchased a set of seven spoke MB's for my daughter's 2005 xB. Nice wheels for the price and IIRC they have a lifetime structural warranty (whatever that is good for).
I like the wheels in pic 1, wish they came in 17's. |

I bought a set of MB Seven X rims for my sister's Scion XB two years ago. They still look like new and they were a great deal at $66 each. I like the first one in your post and might get these for my Bayou Blue hatchback.

I got a set a couple months ago and I love them, and I drive in dallas with lots of potholes and construction and they seem to hold up very well.
And with tires I think they weight just about the same as stock wheel and tire. |

I have a set of MB wheels right now (had them for a few months now), an they look great. No problems so far, and they've taken quite a few rough roads like a champ.
