They are the original AMG / OZ 3 piece that were refurbished and had the rear offset modified.
Purchased them from "Wheel Wizard " in the U.K. ( email: wheel.wizard@yahoo.co.uk )
He can be found on the MB Club UK forum under the screen name Aka$h.
Not inexpensive but almost impossible to find refurbished in the USA

These wheels haven't been made for over fifteen years.
Some of the parts such as lips and centers are a bit more available.
It took him about four weeks to do the work as he had to locate front centers.
Installing the front centers in the rear barrels changes the offset from +17 to -7.
This pushes the wheel out an additional 1".
For the W202 you might want to consider the later style 3 piece that was used as an option on the R129 SL600 and SL500.

Yo Ed!
I didn't realize this thread was a year old, but are you still plugging ahead with this project? I'm totally impressed with this project and one on mymbonline (http://mymbonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7159) so definitely keep us updated. You need to do a photoshoot with your black series and what a black series from the era of the 124s would've looked like. Hope you're doing well.
