They're not particularly light or fast. They are OEM for a reason on many bikes.

However, they take a beating and keep rolling true. Guess that is the advantage of the high spoke count and not-so-light rims. As a commuter wheel with some 28-32 tires they are more than adequate. They will live out the rest of their days on my rain/winter/commuter bike.

Usually you can get them pretty cheaply second hand. I've heard good things about Neuvation wheels for a strong value/performance compromise.
