Comet Alloys, which colour? - Page 2

Feb 20th, 2006, 20:01

Apology accepted. The comets are 17" and the C70 wheels are 16" and called Meteors, which are silver. I had my Comets refurbished in a darker graphite and they looked s#*t. So I had them done again in the right graphite, which is best for a red car. My previous car an 850 T5 CD was black and had the silver colombo wheels. By the way if you live in Shreswbury you are not far from me. E-mail me if you want.

My FWD S70R came with 16" graphite Meteors from factory.
Either Meteors or Comets were the only options when the car was ordered back in 1998

Meteors keep the "R" look without compromising comfort

Volvo 347 is the bestest colour.. Well I think so.

I've just painted my wheels silver.

I've recently acquired a set of C70 comets which are silver but they have an almost mirror finish on them - give out loads of reflection. I think it might be "volvo silver bright"

Does anyone know the paint code for this as I want to get the correct colour to touch them up.
