Iforged looks better, though I can never justify the cost and wonder why people spend that much on wheels??? The Lexions are Carlsson copies (either older 1/5 or 2/5, depending on if they have modular look).

Thanks for all the input, still on the fence about it tho, both rims have a 3 inch rear lip, and 1.5 in the front....not sure still.....maybe it might grow on me, or if i get the tires stretch a little more than they are now, it may look more sleek, tires on now are kind of bulging out...

I am running Eiback ProKit with Koni Yellows, the Lexions are 19x8 and 19x9 with a 38mm offset, the Iforged are 19x8.5 all the way around with aggressive offsets to get that deep dish look 1.5" lip in the front and 3.5" lip in the rear.
It also looks a little more higher than normal since I just put the rims on for the photo and didnt let it settle back down yet.

If anyone else has some Aero, please share and post, only other one I can find is a Black Opal with blacked out Aero, so its a little more difficult to see the rims.

found it here on the clk w208 forums, so one from San Francisico or somewhere in norcal, but the background shots were of the golden gate bridge. but with the black on black, it looks completely different than the silver on silver since every detail stands out more. Post your pics soon ...

thanks hersh, i have the sides as well, but never put them on since it blocks those emergency jack point holes...and having 19's there is always a possibility i might need it.
