Avant Garde M328 Wheels

I'm looking for pics of the Avant Garde M328 Wheels on a white W204. Does anyone have pics? I've only seen them on black, any other colors would be great. I want to see how the dark accents inside the wheels look on lighter color cars.

On a different topic, I'm worried about the ride quality going from 17" to 19". I had 19s on my E46 M3 but it was a harsh ride to begin with being a coupe, my W204 rides smooth, I don't want the 19s to ruin the ride.

if you dont plan on lowering your car,if it isnt already.. 19's arent soo bad.. and you will have a little room to put on a slightly thicker tire.. ofcourse only if you have the proper offset

It's not lowered, I'm hoping I don't have to lower it, I'll get kw comfort coilovers if the car doesn't look good with 19s on factory suspension.

I would be worried getting thicker tires, that would raise the car and could give it the dreaded "4x4" look.

Yeah, I've had coilovers on several cars I've owned in the past. My W204 rides so good I just don't want to ruin that.

I decided to go with OEM 18" AMG wheels for now, I purchased a set yesterday. This way I won't have to replace the suspension immediately and the car will still ride comfortable.

I just don't think 19s look good on many cars with factory suspension, coilovers will likely be in my future, but not the near future.
