I don't know much about Canepa, but I do know that quality houses don't usually replace original parts with obvious repros for no reason...least of which to pick up extra change on another sale.
Maybe....the orig wheels "magnaflux'd" with too many weaknesses (like most of the orig mag wheels that you see for sale) and felt safer with modern wheels. Like A-Snake said, I would think the orig wheels came with the deal.
Or, if I spent a megabuck on the car, it's chump change to get a set of Sunbursts, if that's what I wanted.
As far as "sucker".... well, I'll tell you I judged this car in Concours last year, and, unless the car was "de-restored" since then... it was one fine automobile worth top dollar.
