Nearly every design I have seen, including ours based on the Wildstang 2001 design, uses two 'half plates' to make up each wheel. In each half plate is milled a 'half slot' that holds the axles of the omni rollers. When the two are bolted together, the omni rollers are captured in the milled out areas of the wheels and the axles are cpatured in the two plates.
