Original W124 wheel options

The stock eight-holes don't really do it for me, but I want to replace Ilse's wheels with something that will still look correct on a W124.

Does anyone have a brochure, list, website, etc. that shows all the wheels Mercedes offered for the W124 chassis, or at least during the 124's production run? I know about the ten-hole, the eight-hole, the AMG five-spokes in all their forms, but I occasionally see other wheels that look to be cut from the same cloth.

EDIT: Forget my desire to receive information, I'd rather give back. I'd like to make an online reference available on these wheels, with images and complete specs. There's nothing like that available AFAIK, and I looooove making info graphics.

SO.

If I could get a good, square-on, high-res image of every wheel made available for the W124, along with complete info for each (diameter, width, offset, weight, single/two/three-piece construction), I can get this show on the road. I'd say big-name aftermarket wheels should be included (AMG, Brabus, etc.), but limit it to that. We don't need EVERY wheel that fits, just the ones that could be considered "original" or "authentic".

Gentlemen, start your cameras.
