Default Need opinions pls on lips size vs $...

As you guys know I got these wheels cause could not pass up the deal so now my delema is lip size. Let me ask you guys something. Do you think it's worth $250 a barrell to add 1/2"? The lip size right now is 2" front and 3.5" rear. Wanted to do a deeper lip but do you guys think it's worth the money? There's a shop I found that will do the lips for $110 each and that's repaired and rechromed. here's some pics of it on the car... please give me your opinions.. thanks.. the original link of the wheels are below the pics...

thanks for all your guys inputs. you know it does look fat enough I guess I was just wanting more but for the $1000 plus it was going to cost just for 1/2" more was just to eehhhh, I haven't tried on the fronts yet but I'm certain its gonna be flush like my 19's. probably just gonna get them repaired and rechromed for the $110 each, found a place to dechrome the face for $25 per, is that to much? and also my friend that does all the body and paint on my cars is gonna find me someone to vblast to kinda get that brushed look than he's gonna throw a clear on there for me. I'll keep you guys posted on the outcome.. thanks again for the inputs.. keep them comin..

Wheels look great the way it is. Not worth dropping another $1000 on the wheels. Save the money for the repair and powdercoating.
