[W126 Coupe] Aero II Monoblocks, where to find them?

[Jonathan]

Your best bet @ this point would be a good set of used rims.  The Aero 
I's also look quite sharp on the coupes.  IMHO, 17 is as big as you want 
to go in an efforts to strike the best compromise b/w handling and 
comfort (AMG felt the same as well as their largest rim for the 126 was 
a 17).  If you like the multi-piece look AMG did make a 3 piece 17' 
wheel, just be careful as the 8.5' front center pieces like to crack 
around the lug bolt holes.

So in short, no one to my knowledge stocks a quality name brand (BBS, 
Ronal, OZ etc..) wheel for our car that looks the part.
