If you want to keep the ride quality, i would go with a set of 16 X 8 rims from a 210 chassis. They are on craigslist cheap all the time.

There is a great selection of tires 205/55/16 or 215/55/16.

This will preserve the ride characteristics of the 124 while offering nice handling and upgrading the look.

The consensus on other Mercedes forums and 124 threads in particular is that 18X10 will not fit on the rear without some surgery.

Your milage may vary.
