Leos look good on anything.
Absolutely
Volvo had the wheel in its accessory lists for a long time, from 1980 (Mk1) all the way up to the last MkIII in '91. I think they look best on a MkII, but I've seen pics (which I can't find right now, unfortunately!) of a Dutch MkIII GLT with Leos - they looked superb on that car.
I have to admit I'm not too keen on the wheel Steve posted, it's a tad new for a 300. When did they come out - 1993 with the "phase 2 400s"? The 300 series had long gone by then ... I like wheels which (more or less) fit the period the car was built in.
seen some nice multispokes on a 440 today, they looked alright. Still havn't seen what Leos look like on my car yet, need to refurb another 3 and get tyres fitted

It would be better to polish them before painting though IMO! Saves any risk of catching the spokes etc. Unless Leo's are like my Superlites and you can access the dish no sweat?
Get em done and on. I'm a fan of them on mk3's also.

cheers, yeah wish i had now but i got impatient, there's still some paint to sand off on the dish near the new paint edge :/
But is quite easy to get to and not a huge risk if i'm careful.
