I need to get a replacement for the rollers for my sliding glass door. The plastic wheel does not hold up to the weight of the door.

Thank you for reaching out to us. I'm afraid we don't sell a match for the roller in your photos. However, I have heard of this complaint before regarding the nylon wheel not holding up. I recommend you check the diameter of the wheel.  It is listed at 1-1/4", but I think it is closer to 1-1/8" and I'm not sure how much clearance you have at the bottom of the door. 

With that said, take a look at the 81-266 roller kit with the 1-1/4" wheel and the 81-223 wheel with the diameter of 1-1/8". If you do go with the 81-223, you will need to order two wheels along with the 81-310 axle kit. Review the specifications for these parts and see what you think.
