Updated pics - 19" OZ Canova
The third black w204 "Updated Pics" thread this weekend. 
19x8 OZ Canova ET48 all around. 235/35/19 General Exclaim UHP.
I had been close to getting some Brabus reps or BBS LM reps, but Tire Rack had these on closeout, so there really wasn't much to decide since it is OZ we're talking about.
Pics I had seen of these wheels before had the inner part of the spokes painted black, which made the actual spokes look way too thin IMO. When I saw they had all silver, I pulled the trigger.
Shots to show the offset... the design of the wheel has the face "sticking out" a bit, so I'd say it's about perfect at 48mm. Could prob. go another 5mm in the front w/o it looking bad. The back is already 9mm out from stock, so is prob good where it is.
Oh yeah... been wanting to post this pic ever since I saw got_thang's posts... maybe *I* was the one with the first ever Recaro-equipped w204???

The ride is not rougher to me so far driving around town. Only harshness difference felt so far is with abrupt driveways or jagged speed bumps. The lower and stiffer sidewalls transmit the jarring action a bit more.
I will say that road noise has increased a bit over the stock Contis though.
Thx for the complement!
