Default go with wheel flip or wheel design

im getting ready to ship my wheels out to get refinished but cant seem to decide who to go with, so this is where i need your help and input.
for people that used them or know anyone that used them, how was the workmaship, quality, customer servcice and turn around time? im not doing a rebuild or anything. i just want my wheels to be fully polished. im hoping to send them out by this week or sometime next week.
as far as price, there was a a significant change between both shops, but im willing to spend the money for better work. please help and chime in. thanks!!!

i recently had my wheels re barreled and polished with wheel design and have nothing bad to say about them. they're stand up guys and took care of me very well. the shop name is somewhat new but the guys that are working there have been doing this for a while so they know what they are doing.

I've finish my wheels at VR Wheels they do good work.

Wheel design is good as well, they do pretty much all royalflush wheels. Looks great.

Wheel flip told me it would cost about $300 to relip EACH wheel.

VRwheels got me 5" lips and turned my 2 piece wheel into 3 piece for $360

you guys can't just say ____ sucks, you have to give reasons, examples, facts.

I've bought a bunch of refinished wheels from vrwheels, they're pretty good.

Yes I do, but I dont think he was able to hook me up with the lips. Just polishing some bolts, polishing, rushing my order.

I got my wheels back in 3 weeks, which is pretty damn quick.
