All I know is that there isn't a whole lot of options out there in the 1 or 2 piece forged arena. MHT forged wheels are two piece forged outer and forged inner. Should be a very strong wheel. Is anyone running MHT wheels on there Benz?

It will also depend on which model. Different Mayas are sourced from different wheel manufacturers. A number of the wheels are from Riverside, their Trafficstars. As for the others, I am not sure.
I have a set of Maya DLS and I like them. I have hit a few pot holes and they've held up so far. I have had friends with the Trafficstar versions of the Mayas and they did not have problems. I have had friends (and myself) with iForged and HREs that had clearcoat issues.
No wheel is perfect. I've learned to accept that and don't let things bother me too much. Pick a wheel style you like with the budget you have and just enjoy it. I don't necessarily agree with the Maya = junk statement. I've seen way worse wheels.
