Remember, VEX's Colson wheels have yet to be tested in live, repeated defensive pushing matches. IMO spares are a good idea for this year.

I honestly think there's no reason for concern whatsoever - the hub is solid and thick plastic, the hex is a
very tight fit, and teams have run hex bore plastic hubs in drivetrains before. I'm quite confident the guys at Vex wouldn't design an entire product line of drive wheels that couldn't stand up to basic defense.
