Default 2008 Volvo C70 Wheels HELP

One of the aftermarket rims on my C70 is badly damaged and I'd like to get either stock rims or something with a higher profile...POTHOLES IN OHIO ARE RIDICULOUS!

Can anyone her help guide me to the best source or options?

The rims currently have 225/45R 17 on them. I'm not sure what was stock but these are too suseptible to road damage.

Wheel-size.com shows the 2008 wheels as having the 63.4 center bore so your car will be compatible with the newer Volvo rim styles. You really have two choices 1) put more air in your tires. Not sure where you keep your tires but I've always found going 3-4 PSI higher than what the door/filler sticker says is the easiest solution. The owners manual says 36 but you can safely run 39. (most tires have a max PSI rating on the side wall (mine say 51 PSI maximum pressure) 2) If you want to drop down to 16s check out New & Refinished VOLVO 70 SERIES , C70, S70, V70 Wheels/Rims - Wheel Collision Center or https://www.hubcaphaven.com/ for styles. you'd want to run a 215/55-16 to get the same rolling circumference. I'd do this for a set of winter wheels with snows when pot holes are at their worst.
