    Amalthea Alloys

    I've got these on my V70 P2 and they are scuffed to bits (thanks to the previous owner). I'm not too keen on them as they are, and was either considering a newer set of wheels (comets or similar) or refurbishing these ones.
    They are bright silver at the moment, but I was thinking of getting them done in another colour (anthracite, gunmetal...etc). The car is metallic grey (I don't know the colour code) and was hoping someone may have photos of these wheels in another colour to help with my choice.
    Money IS an issue!!

    Hi,

    I'm sure you are aware but comets are a Phase 1 wheel.

    Mine are very dark grey which I got refurbished from the standard Silver, the colour of the car is important though because imo dark rims suit darker coloured cars better.

    You should put some pics up of your wheels as there may be someone on here that may fancy a swap.

    I'll try to get some photos on here.
    Do Phase 1 Comets fit on phase 2 cars without any mods??

    Amaltheas look great in anthracite! I want a spare set of alloys for track days. If you want to sell them let me know.

    Jardon,
    You're right...they do look good in anthracite. Do you have any 'side profile' photos showing the full side view of the car. Mine's metallic grey and I'm hoping Anthracite might work if I decide to keep them.
