Can you come up with any model kits that have any of these ?

hmm, will have to think about the kits, but I do know Modelhaus makes the spyders, most of the mag wheels in older kits have the top center cap molded in.

The Beatnik Bandit does have the chrome center caps that have the tiny bullet in the center

Spyder Caps

I swear this was answered once here on the forum, but no amount of Googling would turn up any hits. I want to say it was from a Buick kit, maybe?  Some kit included these spider caps.

I couldn't tell you right off which kits had them but I remember that the Spiders were an option in many AMT kits in the late '60's and some '70's era kits.
