Default Refurbing alloys

Need some advice, my xc90 is a late 2006 140k and doing well.
Only issue is very slow punctures on two wheels, but slow as in it goes softvover three weeks. I've been told that it's most likely the tyre or valve not seating properly due to poor seal and that a refurb would sort it.

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?
