There are omni wheels (90 degree rollers) and there are mecanum (45 degree rollers) but there are no specific wheels a swerve needs.

The AM Hi-Grip wheels in the kit are great, and they are making improvements to them for 2014 to prevent failures that some teams saw this year. You can try out AM Plaction wheels which are pretty sweet and affordable. VEXPro also offers a variety of wheels to try. Then there's Colson wheels which 11 and many others use, but they require a hub that can be purchased at WCProducts.net

PM me if you want some specific suggestions for your team in particular.
