Yes. The W202 C280 Sport sedan offered an AMG wheel that was very similar in appearance to the Monoblock II.

Here's more on the C280 Sport...

In addition, the "AMG Aero" may have been available in the 16" size as well (most that I've seen were 17s tho....)

That's going to look pretty....

wimpy on the 124. 17's are a pretty easy fitment on the 124, and oh yeah, I've got a set of 17's for sale! Ask Chappy, or email me. I've got lots of experience with those cars.

As mentioned 15" are used on the C-class. There are also "knock-offs" that are 15". You should be able to use any offset from 35-41 (at least that's what's recommended by Luke from tire rack)

I'm using 15" wheels. Why....cause I only pay $5 per tire. My dad has connections to get used tires with lots of thread left for that much. Lots of people get bigger wheels/tires when their original wheels/tires are still good.

I could get 17" tires also, but most of the 17" either has no thread left, or uneven tire wear on the inside from incorrect camber. In the last 5 years, I've spend only $40 on 2 sets of tires.

It doesn't really look too bad. BUT the 17" looks "right" on the W124. If I was paying full price for tires, I'd go with the larger 17".
