A bunch of reasons - from additional stress on wheel bearings, through unbalanced rotating mass.

What?

Wheels won't vibrate on normal roads?

Wheel bearings won't wear on normal roads?   :huh:

you are putting them under a lot less stress than on a track.. on track the stress on the adaptors would be immense but under normal driving conditions they are fine as hundreds of thousands of people will testify to..
