Remarkably well, actually, given that they're acrylic. As I was driving, I lost two rollers do to a similar, smaller break but had no trouble for awhile after that. As I mentioned in the caption, the break seems to be the result of lazy construction moreso than material strength and all the damage happened to a single omniwheel. The other three are fine.

As Greg pointed out, they're just standard omniwheels. There's nothing particularly fancy about them.
Here is a picture of another of our wheels in its original, unwrecked state/

Again, nothing quite so fancy, I'm afraid. It's litte more than
a light, very maneuverable, 6WD design.
Here is some video.
