I had a few of my pictures printed on metal/aluminum. I need some help on how to frame these pictures and suggestions on the best places to purchase frames.
Appreciate your suggestions.

do they need frames? what size?
A trimless method would be to use VHB (very high bond) tape, a sign industry standard, applied to a spacer or z-clip to float the print off the wall.

Are you pleased with the metal prints? I have thought about this many times.

I don't think I've ever seen a metal (not metallic paper) print with a frame.
And I agree that they should 'float' off the wall.

Yes I am pleased with the prints. I saw a deal on groupon. I had no idea how the prints would turn out and with the deal i got with groupon it was worth it.

The photo taken and then what it looks like on the print. I've never seen a metallic print before.

A picture of the metal (not metallic) print won't do it justice.
You really need to stand in front of it and move around to look at it from different angles to really get a feel for it.

They don't really need frames. The place you bought it at should be able to supply the wood block with the sawtooth that attaches it to a nail in the wall. They are meant to float off the wall.
Here is an example. My business offers this service
