I purchased these narrow tires by mistake, and am now thinking about trying to just find some wheels for the tires. I am wondering if anyone knows of wheels that would be good for these narrow tires to go on my optima mid?

Finding the matching rears will proove to be the bigger challenge I think :(

I love this tread pattern.

At first there were no Kyosho narrow front wheels and Kyosho drivers used cut rear wheels with those. Cut the inner groove away to make the rear wheels as wild as fronts would be.

Like Jirka says, cut the outer ring of the inner part and lower the new ring a bit.
But You can also go for Turbo Optima wheels, here You´ll find narrow fronts.

Rear tires - If You´re willing to pay 50 usd, You should be able to find a set :lol:
I had the same problem as You, 4 sets of narrow fronts and no rears. I found some 2,0 tires called dirt paw with the same tread pattern. Here´s what they look like:

Winger you after 3 peice 2.0" rims but I think Pargu makes them in alloy at both widths.

Scouring eBay will help out a bit.

Looks like Paul has a set of 2.0" rims that include the medium width fronts.
Hope this helps :D

Well, the yellow ones specifically I don't know, but Kyosho wheels that fit rear Kyosho Optima Mid tires are easy, since all Scale Car wheels fit those tires...
