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.

you might be able to find the shipping weight, that may get you in the ballpark of what they weigh.

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.
