I have been on the phone with Mark @ AKA. They have a stonger rim coming out (something to do with the plastic they are made with). I cracked 4 rims and he sent me new rims and tires (siince there were cityblocks). I had to send the cracked rims/tires back to them. No questions asked for the new set. The new rims are in and should be shipping. I will have to pull up my email telling you how to tell the differance between the old and new. If you have a set of the old rims, boil them for 3 minutes before you mount them and you should be fine.
If you look at the old version of wheels, on the inside lip you'll see a very slight bevel.. meaning the very outer edge is slightly thinner. The new wheels do not have this bevel at all - meaning the very outer edge has been beefed up. Hard to visualize, but very easy to see the difference if you have them in front of you.
AKA tires & foams are the ticket

Yes the improved wheels with the revised molds are better. I did crack quite a few of the old style wheels, but the updated set hasn't cracked yet.
