And honestly, everyone who has seen the car, has made a point of saying they look really good! So i would get them.. Its worth it.

I want to get some 18's and put the black inserts in,
Are those originals, or copies though as the black doesn't look quite right on them in my opinion.

I'm looking to get mine re-done soon but unsure how - original, black inserts or smoked chrome - the only thing putting me off smoked chrome like RR's is loosing the sharp edge of the inserts - but I plan to ask if this can be kept and just maybe get the faces smoked chrome - the only thing with keeping them diamond cut is there very likely to white worn in the future again.

....If you want two colours with a sharp edge between (to inserts), the ONLY way this can be done is to have the whole wheel painted any colur and to then diamond-cut it back to the alloy and clear lacquer it.....And wait the white worm!
If any wheel refurb company tries to tell you that they can achieve a sharp guaranteed edge between two colours on the Monza's (not by diamond-cutting), stay well clear of them!
HTH - It's all in my thread if you read it thoroughly.

I personally don't think you can beat the look of the diamond cut finish beit black or grey. As already said, European Ed30's came with a satin black Monza as per below.

^^^^
I much prefer the satin finish to either the matt or very glossy blacks on the German Ed30 'Monza's' (Huffs?).
