They're aftermarket chrome effect things, and would probably look a bit dodgy..

These are more like what I have:

162004042707

Can't say for sure if they're the exact same set as mine, hopefully somebody can clarify whether there's a specific size you'd need.

The ones that were on the Monzas were a perfect fit on the VZ though.

Bit of digging and I'm sure you'll find what you need!
brilliant thanks for being posted down the right place are yours black then? any chance u have a photo of them in ur wheels?
cheers

Yeah mine are black. They don't look out of place if that's what you're wondering.

I don't have a pic of mine, but Google found this:

I bought some grey 17mm bolt covers from eBay, looked great and blended right in. No pic im afraid and no link, was years ago.

Can't tell you how much they should be torqued up. I've always done mine by feel. Probably not ideal but I've never had problems...!

Just a bit of advice regarding locking bolts - make sure you don't overtighten them. There's loads of accounts of people saying certain brands are crap, but in most cases they've been overtightened and get damaged when they need too much force to shift.
