you're right but the slicks that are on there now are probably shot. Hasn't the car has been sitting for a while? He'll need new ties anyway. If the slicks wer good they probably would have been sold as "dedicated racecar slicks" like MT's are about $600 a pair and the prices only go up from there. Even if the slicks were in OK shape if the car isn't on jack stands the weight of the car would have squared the slicks, rendering them useless as the soft side wall probably won't ever restore itself to perfect roundness no matter how many burn outs you do. If the car doesn't come with rims, back rims are the most important, then that could be costly to find replacements as the car is probably tubbed and may have a narrowed rear end. These factors accomodate large tire/rims and putting stock rims/tires will look silly. Hope the car comes with the rims and hope they aren't toooo big, anything in the 8-10 is ok for finding decent street tires. Street legal race cars are awsome!!
