Just out of curiosity what's the difference between a race wheel and a street wheel? Is it Factor of Safety reductions to achieve a specific weight?

Yes the race only wheels will not tolerate daily driving like potholes etc..

Structurally the race wheels will have less retaining bolts the center spokes will be very thin/ lighter etc...
Thanks
