How would a 5mm thick myopic lens look with rimless frames?

I have pretty terrible eyesight, but I always wanted to get a rimless frame. I'm thinking about getting a cheap one online, just to try it out. I enter my prescription (which is R: -5.50 -1.75 180 and -5.00 -1.75 180) on a website, and it estimated my lens (for the -5.50 eye, at least) would be 5 mm thick. First, does that sound right? And second, would that look decent? I'm guessing it will look somewhat thick, so anyone would be able to tell my eyes are weak, but is that coke-bottle territory? Are there any pictures of somewhat with a lens around that thickness, because I can't really visualize that on my face.
