So I keep hearing that I need to lower my car. Any thoughts on the best method of doing so? About how much should I expect to pay?

I will get another wheels(IMO).
In black cars, I would prefer the rims all in black(flat w/wo gloss black) or just silver painted.

I think the wheels look good. I've got Vossen's on my car also, although they are a different model than yours.

I'm not too familiar with the suspension on your model of car. I would venture a guess that you could do it with a set of H&R, Eibach, or Tein springs as well as a set of Koni shocks/struts.

I love it, and no drop is needed. I am looking at the Vossens 083's myself and started debating on getting the OEM CLS55 rims, but I think the 083's are winning me over.
