Default Weld Racing wheels newbie question

Hello,
Can anyone please share why most of the Weld Racing wheels is not for street use? Is there any significant different within drag use and for street use? What will happen if I used those wheels for daily driven cars? It will not getting any worst wouldn't it?

Thanks

Drag race specific wheels are designed to be as light as possible to reduce rotating weight, go 0-300 mph in a straight line, and are not too light to repeatedly do this 1/8 or 1/4 mile at a time. Drag race specific wheels are not recommended for street use because the excessive amounts of lateral forces applied to a wheel during daily driving is not engineered into the wheel.

Thanks for the input. At least I get the idea why it is not meant for normal street use.
