A bunch of guys has got their Optima delivered to their Swedish address already. I've not decided about ordering yet but I will definitely buy some spare parts that also fits Optima Mid.

A dealer in CA supposedly has them in. They have an ebay ad, with no mention of backorder.

Looks like they are gearing up for Optima sales! Can't be long now! I'm 42, and WAY to excited about this.

Gawd I hope I get those stickers right, and don't screw one up.
If guys in America are geeting them, mine shouldn't be far behind. I pre-ordered some time ago.

I also hope parts are relatively easy to get, and an extra body, since I actually want to run mine on practice days at the track.

The hexes are the same size as the original. It needs wheels with another offset than most modern wheels.
These will fit:
