Have you confirmed the size of your tires? Chances are your tires are 24mm, while those are 26mm wheels. The difference is small but with grip tires it can make your car a little unstable because the 24mm tires would be stretched out to fit the 26mm wheels.

The choice is obviously yours, I myself wouldn't get either because I have them already and don't care for them much. Maybe the 'stage-d' ones or the chrome mesh.

Hpi makes the wheels you linked in 24/26mm, so if they're your style get them.

All the touring car wheels are a standard hex size. In some cases you may find some that have a different proprietary size, but very rare.

Who were you asking? My car is a HPI Nitro RS4 3 EVO, it uses standard 52mm x 24/26mm wheels. Same goes with speenairs' car, 52mm x 24/26mm wheels.
