Hi,
IÂ´m propably going tomorrow to look at a set of Lyra alloys.

Is the black center-cap (with volvo) a part of the alloy or does it come of? IÂ´m asking becouse the owner said he donÂ´t remember if the alloys have centre-caps and belived they came without.

Very nice alloys, I think

They are 14" aren't they? probably center cap is made of plastic and it it easily come off.

Yeah, they are 6J X 14"..the case is, the set is suppose to be new, so the plastic? cap better be on then

cheers for the PM Anton!
yep, the plastic cap is removeable but i think you can buy them seperately if your wheels come without them. also i have seen the centre caps on different types of non 400 series wheels so you shouldnt have too much trouble getting a set.
good luck

yep, i miss my lyra wheels, they were an absolute bitch to clean but they looked pretty cool!

i could have sold them three times over, if only they hadnt gone to the scrap yard.....

Oh, thatÂ´s a pity.. I think theyÂ´re pretty cool too..looked great on your vase-green? car. I made a deal with the owner today and I will pick them up in the beginning of August...just in time for VROM

I've the lyra's also. A brand new set with shiny VOLVO caps.

I want to wait my tires are tired down. Than I can fix them with new ones.

But this type of alloys is made by ATS. I've seen this alloys also with TOYOTA caps

(maybe that's why I did not fitted them yet

wow.... you aren't swapping your 15" Cetus for 14" Lyra are you?

I don't think I'd change back to 14"... still I guess Lyra are rarer...

Very nice! I have the same situation

will put them under next season(next spring).

Brasco@,
Yeah, I think Lyras are rare on 480Â´s, only seen a set on Murfs car. Anyway, IÂ´m not bothered Lyras beeing 14", they are btw. wider than the Cetus rims. Not going to sell any set though..you never know when the 480 fever hits

Lyra's. I had those on my 440! Only 2 years old too. And guess how much i sold them for... 30 bloody quid! D'oh! Nice looking on the right car, and Murf's right, a right bugger to clean!

I thought the lyra's made for the volvo 4 serie as exclusive option. But mostly for the 440 and 460 in the latest series (96/97) So the are very rare on a 480 cause the build till 1995. I'd seen a 440 with (black and muddy

) lyra's too.

If you have a good alloy cleaner it's just a piece of cake. Spraying, waiting, and high pressure washing! They must be clean then!

Here I made a pic of the lyra and its VOLVO cap.

Outside:

Bright spokes....

Inside

And here you can see the exchangable cap is fitted by 4 "click-fingers".

Take a close look here:

You can see they had the Toyota Corolla "squash" given some Lyra's

It looks nice on this Sport Toyota
