If you're referring to prints on "metallic" photo paper then I have -- I ordered a bunch of test prints from Kodak Gallery when they launched their upgraded "professional services" site a few months ago. For certain images, espacially those with metal subjects, the results are outstanding.
For example, this image came out great -- the metallic finish added depth, sharpness, and a feeling of "realness" beyond what the regular prints look like.  Pictures with bright colors also look good 
FWIW, Kodak also offers prints on true Black&White paper (rather than a grayscale image on color paper). |

fullsizeposters.com is great. I love the quality of their prints and they are dirt cheap too.

I was thinking more so along the lines of This.
Although from what you said about the metallic photo paper, I'm pretty sure that they both have the same advantages, and I bet that it's much cheaper compared to the prints on aluminum that would probably cost me a fortune. |

That seems quite a bit different. But that method would be great for memorial plaques, awards, etc. -- I know people have asked about that before as well.

Millers Imaging is awesome. I've used quite a few others but I keep going back to Millers. Turn around is amazing (upload by end of day, clients usually get their drop shipped prints two days later), and quality is superb. I've done regular prints, albums, canvas, prints bonded to masonite and fine art prints with them, and always been amazed at their quality.
Their customer support is incredible as well. I've had to talk with them several times in the last 4 years and they just can't be beat for responsive, professional and friendly customer service.
