They look to be the same type as mine- not brilliant quality- mine are corroding round the bolts and outwards. Not v.good for 10 years old, the ones on my old XC were good after 16 years. I've found silver Hammerite smooth to be a reasonable match if you just want to repair some small defects, anything bigger I don't think it would work.

I hunted high and pow for codes, the ones I found were not recognized anywhere.

You should be able to find a local paint place that makes up paint, like https://www.jawel.co.uk/

You will be amazed how many shades of silver there are. Top tip if you use this solution, go with clean and dry wheels or paint matching is not as easy.

The match they found for mine was an Audi colour. I can see if they put it on the can when I get home.

VW/Audi L8Z8
Brilliansilber (M1-11800)

Match was OK.

The volvo dealer has all this information , he couldn't be bothered to find out,
If he didn't know he should have asked someone there who does Know.

Silverstone is the most common wheel colour code 938 , it comes in a double aerosol pack and does cover quite a lot. the other aerosol is 2 pack clear Lacquer which goes on top about half an hour later which gives a great finish and is very tough. You have to activate the can on the underside and have a good 12 hours to use before it goes off in the can.
It has noticeable metal flakes in it.
I'm not sure if they do a brush touch up in this colour. worth asking!

Another shade is 935 White Silver
