How do they hold up to occasional street driving?

Thanks

I had a set on my Demon and I drove it hundreds of miles with no problems. I would avoid hitting any large potholes in the road if possible.

... Ran these Hole Pro's for 6 yrs & a few "thousand" miles, but these center sections are a 1/2" thick. They seem pretty stout.

I drove my black car with holeshots around the street. Never an issue. Just drive smart. Steer around pot holes, easy on turns and curbs and stuff and you should be fine.

You can get thicker centers as well as some thicker shells in some, but not all, cases as a little extra insurance. But, of course, they'll weigh a bit more. John @ Holeshot can be more specific.

I agree. Go with the 1/2" centers and you won't have a problem.
