Default Building small racer, need parts!

O.K. I started to design my small carpet car, it will look like a small Knife or Scalpel but palm size, what I need are some foam or rubber tires/rims, fatter ones for the back. What are the smallest out there that are good? This is basically the only thing holding me back from building the car. I guess something around the 1" mark would work well.

there are mini-z foam tires available, specifically GRP makes foam tires for them.

I thought of making my own but didn't know what to use for the foam. I was going to look into the Mini-Z stuff but have not had a chance to get down to the LHS, not even sure if they would have that stuff. How big are the Mini-Z ones and how wide?

You could use mini t foam inserts and cut them down!
