Having once said something along the lines of being not all that keen on aftermarket alloys, I've just seen this set of wheels on a car offered on Ebay and really like them!
Looks like they're 7x15" alloys from RW, did a quick lookup on Google and found out they were made by RW Wheels S.A. in Gent, Belgium, a company which stopped existing sometime at the end of the nineties.
Anyone know any more about these? They look like they might have been part of the Haas or Theis tuning kits.
Over here you can't just go and fit a set of alloys to your car, even if they fit. You need all sorts of papers & certificates from the wheel's manufacturer, to prove they were designed and made for your particular model ... Not so easy, if the company doesn't exist anymore ...
They are one of the best looking rims about IMO and suit the 80's styling of the 300 very well. They're not over the top either, subtle and sophisticated! I was just about to try and find the links of my Haas brochure when I saw the first pic, but you've already done the hard work and found them!
I've no idea if Haas still exist, I'm guessing they/were German or at least use the German language, as if they were allowed to use them then, they may be able to help.

I totally agree! Anyone interested in a LHD 340 without wheels?
There's still a Volvo dealer called "Auto Haas GmbH" at the same address as in your brochure, but it looks like they've stopped their tuning efforts ...
personally I think the centre cap spoils it , especially from a distance it just looks a mess, I think thee centres of the BBs , fondmetal and vauxhall wheels look much better
