Which wheels are you referencing? The link is broken for me. The Omni's that site has seem interesting, but very expensive compared to Vex Omni's

By Traditional, he likely means Omni's in the 4 corners of the robot and each wheel direct driven by a CIM.

Post-manufacture, I agree, is somewhat dead because the rollers can only be modified so much. Swapping out the rollers with polyethurane with a delrin hub might work if you were to modify an existing wheel.
I've never assembled an omni before; is it possible to take the rollers off?
Look at Kiwi drive, it doesn't help with pushing either.
