Default Trying to identify wheel / finish

Hi, my V70 was hit last weekend while it was parked and the wheel was cracked. My wife got me these wheels and she as told that they had a special finish that was only available one year. The finish is not chrome and not silver but kind of platinum with a bluish hue. The finish was known for having worms or lines after a certain time which ruined the finish.
Since I need to replace the wheel and I need help identifying the wheel type as well as the official name of the finish.

The wheel looks like this one, and the finish is very similar. It's 17".


thanks,

FG

Is it a Volvo OEM wheel?

It looks like an Almathea, but they only came in silver.

I have seen those wheels on the new C70's. Those are from S80 1999-2006 Aluminum Rim 7.5 x 17 Otrera Polished OES

No, neither one of those are the right one.
