(It has a slight blemish, only visible if you know where to look) that I will discuss with any serious purchaser.
Which wheels does the black one have?

EDIT: found your photos, non-FE wheels

Don't think I want one bad enough to pay the likely asking price based on what I've seen on eBay, sorry

I think that's your only wheel option, unfortunately - mine's the same: you'll just have to do the only sensible thing and get a (full size...) set of PF/Ronin wheels to match the mini version, like I did .

That's how they work. They make a limited number of each model.
Each month they broadcast which models they are making in the future and take preorders for them. Approximately two months after the preorders are taken the model gets shipped.

So unless you're a member of their Club Otto, where members get first dibs on the preorders, you often don't get a chance to get one delivered from them.

Your next chance is from the classifieds and here in Germany they are already popping up for sale.

And interestingly there's still some white D3 models from Otto that are being sold in the German classifieds.

It has the standard FL 18" wheels as I think all the Otto models do.

But I already bought the spare set of FEs for winters

Which reminds me, I need to get them on, then get the originals in for a refurb back to the OEM colour

I'll always put 18" rims on as winters in prior years: This year's the first time I've had 20s on with winter tyres (and my first non-pukka '8 OEM stock rims - feels a bit weird...)

Mine arrived yesterday.

What a stunning piece of art she is

I would love a dolphin grey one. Has that colour ever been released?
