What are you trying to improve? What is the problem you are trying to solve?

From the AndyMark web site:

Trick Wheels are the original AndyMark omni-wheel. The other, newer omni-wheels (Aluminum omni wheels and Plastic omni wheels) are improved designs, made from lessons learned after applying the Trick Wheel to various applications. These wheels carry a high price because inventory on them is kept low.
