I went for the RSR look on My ST race car.
1. Bead Blast Fuchs ($10 a wheel)- Adds the correct texture too.
2. Spray Dull Aluminum Paint
3. Tape for Satin Black trim
4. Then used a Satin Clear Coat

Tada:

Damn, nice tape job! How long did it take to learn and do that? I'd be afraid I'd never get it perfect.

Its actually not that hard. Try to use the "Frog" tape. It worked great. The first one took about 40min, the second one took about 20 min.
