hatch....but I like rims that dont stand out much, and I think they look more natural on the hatch for some reason, I might not notice them on that hatch picture right off but they stand out on the coupe, but that could just be in the angle

on second though it deffinatly is the angle the first pic doesnt show the rivet things ore the imprint on the spokes...put them on what ever car is used more

Need spacers for those 40 offset rims. Also at the least a set of springs will help. I like them on the coupe.

no, you need bolt on spacers. you couldn't get studs long enough to fit the size spacer you need. I'd go 30mm BOLT ON spacer. it bolts on to your stock studs and gives you new lugs to bolt the wheel on to.

You don't have to get spacers unless you want to be ultra-jdm-driftR-tyt3 like ChunkiDori.

Unless you're really concerned with aesthetics, you'll only need those spacers to clear big brakes or to increase the distance between the wheels, if that's what you're into. Just don't feel like you absolutely NEED spacers.
