It looks like they have updated the wheels for 2015 with additional support though, so that's a good sign.
2052 has always used AndyMark's mecanum wheels, which have two metal plates holding the rollers on. We have never had a problem with the rollers breaking off.

The previous team I was with used AM Mecanum wheels as well and had little to no problems. I'm pretty sure the Vex ones (even if re-engineered) will not be on our shopping list. Maybe after a season or two if they prove themselves with other teams.
