Did any of the "purists" object to your aftermarket rims, and did anyone notice that you are running OEM 500E Euro headlights?

A couple of guys noticed the wheels but both were fully aware that they were originally sold on the 94 E500 in Europe and they welcomed the change. Believe it or not the director of concours judging liked my wheels and told me to leave it alone, that shocked me. No one commented on the Euro Lights or clear corners for that matter.
Off Topic...Sort Of....Some complaints I've been hearing from many concours judges in MBCA and other National car clubs is the the term "Over Restored". Apparently many judges are complaining that people are showing cars that look better than they did when factory new. For example rather than having a Silver Cad Plate on the nuts/bolts etc they have nickel plating and everything is overly polished. Interesting to see/hear these things.
