the car actually LOOKS ok, though it's tougher to tell with black cars in photos.
the "weird anodized trim" is normal. it's called black chrome and ALL 500Es had them. I know later W201s had black chrome trim because it looked nicer than the original trim which had a habit of fading to a very light grey (look at almost every 2.3-16).
I personally think the rims are butt f-in' ugly and would change them right away. i think chrome rims on a benz take away from the car. makes it look cheap and tawdry. but that's just me
