The bolt-ons should keep anyone from thinking it was original, though.

FYI: Here are a few pics right here on Clubcobra of CSX and other originals of the the past with those exact same bolt-ons like you saw on the slabside at Serrano. A few pic/clips below. I've seen more than a few original 289 cars with, both street and race trim with bolt-on wheels. See thread, and some pics below. How about these... Can you tell which of these cars are CSX originals and which ones are not? Others may have been converted cars when the original Torque Thrust style were hard to find with pin drives and replace. Here are just a few examples. Torq-Thrust D Wheels On ERA 289 or 427 Cars ?
