Any tips on how to get that effect? They are totally smooth but looks more like a semi-polished aluminium, I'm wondering if it should be left a little rougher then smoothed with the top coat?

Try a 1500 and keep sanding the same way so the fine scratches left by the wet and dry all go the same way. i.e. the same direction as the rest of the wheel. If that leaves too many scratches then use finer grade to make it look like the rest. If not enough come down to 1200 etc.
