Hello, I found these Style 42 wheels that I would like to purchase. What do they look like from the photos?

In the photos there are also ET20s that I'm not interested in, I will only purchase the ET41s specific to the car. The seller says they have been partially restored, washed and polished on the edge. While the central finish of the inner rim is original and in fact they have some scratches, discoloration and dents. Is it a good buy or not? Otherwise I found the same wheels for sale from another seller but repainted. Honestly, I would rather buy wheels with the original finish in good condition, instead of buying repainted wheels in better condition. What do you think?
Thank you

Whether it is a good buy or not depends on the pricing. 42s are rare, in excellent/fully restored condition 1.5k is a normal price tag in Germany. Considering the rather more expensive restoration due to the split design (disassembly etc.) and brilliancy lathing (it's actually not polished) with a minimum 600€ expense, used ones are at around 1k and beyond, depending on the immediate necessity of a restoration.
If you have a restauration company at hand, it might be an option to buy a cheaper set with restoration need. If not, I'd rather go for a readily built set of wheels, given the restoration is documented.
ET41 is right for front, with the wide body on the rear ET20 would work out well, you get a very nice drop base and don't need spacers. But you need it approved by authorities (TÜV in German). The all ET41 are standard fit.

Best regards,

I would prefer to fit exclusively the ET41s born with the car. Do you think I will need spacers at the rear? The correct tires are 245/40 R17 and 225/45 R17, right?

That's right!
Spacers are an optical need Otherwise even the 8.5 rear rims disappeare in the wheel house
But of course you can go without them, technically.
