Dymag wheels for daily driving...anyone?

Anyone running Dymags on their 997 for a daily driver? I am buying a 997S (MexBlue) that has a set of 19" Dymags installed and intend to drive it regularly it on the dirt and pot-holed roads of Santa Fe. What can I expect?

Only problem with the the dymag rims on that car is that the tires are so soft they've only got about 6-7k good miles on them, probably less on public roads. So yea you can definitely dd that car, but it will be quite expensive replacing the tires so frequently.

The car feels so smooth with the dymags though

Ok, I understand about soft tires wearing out quickly, but they can be replaced with PS2s, for example.. What about the wheels? Are they terribly fragile? Are they up to the rigors of daily use?
BTW...of course, this is Mexico Blue's car! What a great guy and what a sweet car, indeed!

I'm confused, what do the tires have to do with asking about the dymags??

Mexico Blue, what are you replacing this with??

I have it on my GT3 and I loved them.

No problems at all.
