Don't think the first ones will fit, and I am not srue about the second.
I *think* W126's need an offset of about ET30 but I am not sure havn't bought wheels for one in awhile. Actualy if you look on the back of your spare provided it is the original 15 hole that came with the car you will see the offset number. It will read ETxx. You can run a pretty big wheel before you get into clearence issues. 18x8 or 9's are really pushing it. 16-17 is probably about as big as you should go.
You may consider looking for a nice set of AMG Penta's. They are very simple and nice looking and correct to the car.

Hey man,
I think the first link will fit, with offset it should fit and those would look nice. The second set, I wouldnt put 19s on a 126. 18s are already huge on that car and create issues not to mention that the safest ones you can run are 17s without having to worry much about cutting the sidewalls. If im not mistaken with 17s, your offset should be 24mm or less but much less will interfere with your fenders.

Penta's are old 1980's period AMG wheels. Look them up on ebay they pop up once in awhile Figure about $500 for a real nice set.
16-17 are a great size wheel for W126's. I bought mine from Tirerack.com, paid about $1,200 for wheels and tires.

Check them out, see what you think. I searched ebay and didn't find any. They are hit and miss, kinda rear I guess.
