So what would be the best lightweight wheels (17" or 18") for W124s that would fit without any mods (maybe except for spacers)?

Would you remember where did you get those?

Whatever you're attempting to do in 2021, using a CO system on these w124s, you'd better beef up the strut support area for it to take the full weight of the front ends.
Even more $$ out of your pocket to spend.
These were only designed for looks, imo and $$$ too, I may add, for a 20+ yo MB.

A few joe avgs, have already spent a pretty dime on these 'eye candy-only' upgrades and swapped back to oem, or using typical lowering springs instead (H&R, Vogtland, eibach).
Your $1200 in parts will end up collecting dust in it's box, or into the hands of another poor sod for a discounted price.
Lots of hype, and still no reliable reviews from real (member) end users. Why?

my 2 cents.

2018 BMW M4 1994 MERCEDES 300CE
Intresting

Coming from someone who has been running on my coilover setup for the past 6 months I have no issues what so ever. Not only do I daily it I also road course it as well and do a few mountain runs with a few of the guys on here. My CE I would even dare to say handles on par with my 2019 M4.Definatly not to shabby for a 20 year old car I would say.
