I think that sometime Mercedes changed the Offset from 48 to 49 and the early model 124's will not work on the later model 124's. I have both types of 124 rims.. jim

Well thus far I've tested:

1) w126 15-Hole ET21.5 -- Clears Front Calipers, Unsure about linkages
-- Does not clear Rear Calipers, Offset places caliper against inside of diameter of wheel

2) w201 15-Hole ET49 -- Unable to mount. Piston housing rubs against rear of wheel face causing wheel to not sit flush against hub.

Jim I think you are right there is another offset rim, I believe ET44. That might work.

I've also been told that 400E/E420 Wheels fit...
