Those are racing slicks... yeah you can buy em, but you cant use em on the street. You may want to go with something of a semi-slick tire that is still street legal. I beleive BF Goodrich makes a half-slick, they look cool as hell. Check Summit they usually have racing equipment.

slicks are track use only, you can come close with what Ive heard called drag radials, but they wont look like that, those tires are soft wall I think... not sure, as I doubt that car was setup as a drag racer, and thats all that softwall tires are used for.

the rubber on those tires was not meant for street use, 2000miles might be a good distance for them. typicly like you see in a race, pitstops are made after 50hard laps or less.

racing slicks are not drag slicks tey serve two completely differetn purposes ..... But, there are DOT street legal version of both tires .... BF Goodrich Drag Radials are street legal drag sorta-slicks and there are sever choices of road race type DOT tires from Pirelli, Michelin, Yokohama, Hoosier and Kumho ,,,and the tires pictured can not be purchased by anyone who is not a liscensed racer in Japan and can not be purchased outside of Japan
