I have got a pair of 1/25 scale (I guess) daisy-style rear mags from the Road Runner Beep Beep "T" but 1/25 scale fronts would be too big for the tooned car-style I need.
Is there any small scale kit out there that you know of that has Daisy mags? Maybe 1/32 or 1/43 scale? Even a die-cast or toy would work. Let me know if you happen to know of what may have these.
Actually I do not even know what any kit has daisy mags in it. Maybe a small 1/25 would work. |

I don't know of any. I'm pretty sure the only models kits with Daisy mags were Monogram's Vega Mini Van, which are the larger '70s size for the Rally GT tires, and assorted MPC kits. And the MPC wheels tended to be a smidge bigger than AMT wheels. I can't think of any 1/32 lists with them, and I came up empty doing a search for 1/43 kits
My first thought was there might be a 1/32 slot car out there of a '69 Boss 302 race car that might have some. The Trans Am Boss 302s used those wheels early in the '69 season. The Boss 302 slot cars that came up, however, have the Minilite mags.
You can get resin Daisy mags from a few sources, but they are just copies of MPC kit wheels of assorted depths.

I've bought a lot of resin wheels from this vendor in the past . They are very nice and he gives dimensions in the descriptions ! Don't know if they will help but here's a couple of links .  linklink |

I was hoping to find a specific kit so I do not have to get any resin wheels chromed. The resin ones must have come from a specific kit originally. I could use 1/25 scale fronts which would still be smaller than those huge rears on the Road Runner and Coyote kits and that would let me have a matched set. I just love those big ones in the Road Runner kits and want a matched set as the front wheels that come in those two tooned kits are so ugly. |

Found something that will work. There is a set of Daisys in the old 90's version of AMT's '63 Impala. Here they are with the Road Runner T and rears on shorter tires from the parts box. That should be toonish enough! Still think something smaller would be better. Attachment Deleted |

Those look good ! Something smaller is gonna be tough to find , there's some 1/32 Torque Thrust wheels but no Daisy's .

Here's another idea. Can those Impala kit wheels have the rim edges filed off, reducing the diameter, and still look good? If so, you should be able to then fit them into the little Revell 14" Dunlop tires (the ones on the front of the '90s '32 Hiboy kit, Mazda Miata, and many R/M lowrider kits). AMT and MPC wheels will fit in those tires if you cut out the inner ring, but the rim edges will overlap.

Just found a perfect set of matched big and little daisy mags in the MPC tooned kit called C B Freak.

The wheels in the CB freak are the same size as the ones you've got from the Roadrunner T and the AMT Impala.
