Spacers
should work but I have no experience with those. I believe others have had success with spacers.
The 116 shares the same wheel size including offset as the 107, 123 and 126 so if you find a wheel that fits one of these then it should fit a 116. Mercedes-Benz has not made a wheel to fit since and AMG stopped making wheels with the correct offset a few years ago.
Ronal made a 5 spoke wheel almost identical to the AMGs but even these are not made anymore.
If you don't want to find used AMGs and don't trust spacers, there are a few replica wheels available in the correct size and offset, including replica AMG monoblock disc wheels but I have only seen them in 17x8 ET 25.
