Default Wheel Wizards or Metro Wheels?

Damaged the front surface of one of my wheels and went to both wheel repair places mentioned in title and got two extremes on quotes. Wheel Wizards wants $205 and Metro Wheels wants $100 for the same work. Anyone have experience with both places? I want the wheel to look like new.

Default don't know about cosmetic, but structuraly, Metro is good...

had a wheel fixed twice with no probs. I never had them refinish though. Only b/c I plan on sanding a polishing the lips.

Default Two good sources have recommended Wheel Wizard

very highly. Both were guys in the tire/wheel business. Several other people have said good things about Wheel Wizard as well, they seem to have a very good reputation.

I had only a brief dealing with Metro once, but they seemed like a good shop.

Default I've installed two sets of wheels through Metro Wheels, they seem to do a fine job.

They've quoted me similar numbers for fixing up curb rash on my Avus wheels. But if I had HREs, I'd be going to Butler a higher-end place.
