Everyone, thank you for you comments and opinions. The wheels are being installed as we speak and I ended up going with the Lorenzo WL199 (the fatter split 5 spoke design). I just noticed that I inputted WL198 in my original post but it is actually the WL199. I have a professional photo shoot with the car this Wednesday. Once I receive the photos from the photographer, I will definitely post some on here.
Caliper paint: I ended up using the silver G2 Caliper paint kit. I am very happy with the end result but it took about 4-5 hours of multiple coats on each caliper to make them turn out that way.
Caliper decals: I ordered two different sets of decals from two different companies. The first set was the one that was recommeded on this forum but they were too small in my opinion for such larger calipers. Believe it or not, the ones I ended up going with were a set that I bought on eBay for super cheap! I just tried to find the link on my ebay account but its not in there anymore due to how long ago I bought them.

im with cjitty, keep your current lexani wheels. but if you are set on switching then go with the ones in the 2nd pic. i just got the same exact lexani cvx-44 and i think they look really good on our LS, and mine will look even better when i get those lowering springs from cjitty. hint hint hint....lol seriously though keep the cvx-44's

Here are a few pics taken of the new wheels right after I had them installed. I decided to go with the new Lorenzo WL199. 22x9 +35mm and 22x10.5 +40mm.
The professional photos are being taken later today in which I will post some of them once I receive the proofs.

Meh........ i liked the lexani's better and would have painted or powder coated the faces before i spent that kind of money for the "NEW" look you have now but if your happy thats all that matters

Here are a few of the smaller resolution samples I just received back from the photographer. I should have the final proofs back from her today which should have a lot of other good shots. The Acura TL in the photo has a set of the new one piece forged Lorenzo wheels on it.
