Wellgos in general are ok. They won't spin freely. They will not be light. They will not last for years. But, they will allow you to pedal. They are only worth the money spent on them, if you absolutely can't spend more.

However, the MG-8s are a horrible blight on the world. I had them for a few months. The mechanism is single-sided and above the pedal axis, so what happens is they always end up facing down. This becomes more of a problem the more tired you are, as I was prone to cramps when trying to flip the pedal and clip-in further into a longer ride. Really sucked when starting off at an intersection. If you want SPD style, I would recommend a dual-sided MTB pedal over those a thousand times over.

I suggest you spend $20 more and get the Shimano M540. They have served my well on my mountain ride.
