Ah ha! I was waiting to see if someone else ran into this.

I've used the rubber (or whatever they are) wheels (100 lbs rating) on most
of my games. I didn't trust the little plastic wheels as they seemed too
cheesy to support the weight. I could be wrong but I just had visions of
one of them shattering as I rolled a game across the floor. BTW, I haven't
had any problems (yet) with flat spots forming. Your mileage may vary.

On the other hand, given that others haven't had a problem with the plastic
wheels, I'll be more likely to give them a try in the future. They are a
lot less expensive and they won't add as much to the games height.
