18 Monza's are diamond cut and do need to be professionally refurbished if you want to keep the same highly polished finish. Not all alloy wheel refurbishers will do them but check out the link below, which lists some companies that do.

I have just had mine professionally done.  I took them off to put winter tyres and rims on and whilst off I sent them to Pristine Alloy Wheel Referbishers, Milton Keynes.

Cost £310.80 including VAT and this was also a small repair due to a pot hole.  The wheels look fanstastic and like new.  Would recommend these guys. The wheels are couriered up and down so no wories about being damaged in the post.
