I would think you would be more likely to damage your light rims on the street.
Read this on a wheel manufacturer 's site years ago. Doesn't really answer your question, but something to think about.
Wheels are similar to shoes that we wear. We have shoes for running, hiking, office, and cross training. Each require specific design considerations to optimize their respective performance. So why not wheels? Wheels that are subject to road use contend with constantly changing load, road imperfections, higher volumes of hot cold cycles, and real world conditions that often require added fortification to ensure consistent performance over a longer duration than that of a race wheel that will usually have a shorter lifespan with a focus on the lightest possible weight. Similar to race engines that require rebuilding in shorter intervals than street engines, a racing wheel should not be considered over a street wheel with the sole consideration of weight. In fact, weight savings of 30 lbs or less end up yielding minimal gains in performance vs the limitations it presents to the proper use of the vehicle.
