I had some refurbed, better than new. But get them done at a proper specialist.

The place I linked to looks to do a proper job, no sand blasting as told no good for alloys so do a chemical dip.

Always refurb, myself. I’m never certain if aftermarket wheels are quite as strong as the original fitments.

I would also refurb, the pity is that the original volvo wheels corrod so badly and quickly. Mine are corroded behind the spokes where they certainly have not been curbed or scratched and can only be poor original finish.
