Does that sound likely?
My plan is to wait a month or so untill I've the full use out if the tyres and get them refurbed maybe painted a darker colour.
It'd lift the cars looks a bit, or woukd it be more sensible to think about new alloys and maybe go from 18s to 19 or 20s?

I can’t see how a refurb will solve the leak.
You need to go to a puncture repair place, get them to fix the punctures in your tyres & reseal them onto the alloy (its like an adhesive they use). Or, buy new tyres.
There’s no point buying new alloys for the sake of it. Fix the punctures (if possible), or replace the two leaky tyres.
