Best Wheels For Drop-Center Drivetrain.

Hello CD community,
This year we decided to go with a drop center drive train to help out with defense on the field. The wheels that we have on there now are the original VersaWheels. Our drivetrain is a single-reduction 3 CIM, so there is a lot of power going into the center wheels. We replaced the wheels once during our last district because all the wheels shredded smooth. Our center-wheels lost about 1" of thread. The thread turned smooth. So once we changed it, about 4 qualification matches and 3 Semi-Finals and 3 Quarter-Final Matches later the wheels were smooth again. We were wondering which wheels would be ideal: colson, thread, etc. Our sprockets are VEX, so would prefer something from VEXpro.

Thanks
