      @@blackfalcon1324 A Rolls Royce provides a meaningfully different experience to driving than a Honda civic, while looking better. These do look cool, but they do the same goddamn thing as cheap normal casters - just at 40x the price.
      A rolls Royce can’t really be compromised too much without making it not a rolls Royce. But Apple could have made these only mildly fancy at $100 or something, and they still would have been the best goddamned computer wheels that exist, and everybody who had them would have been happy with it.
      Is there a person who would have truly wanted these instead of a still-beautiful-and-functional $100 alternative (from Apple, not third party)?

    This is commercial pricing similar to the prices of grips and batteries on things like Red cameras. This is an egregious option to the average consumer, but if you are a production company that regularly moves equipment on site for events that charge in the 6 figures for things like speakers, projectors, PAs and networking it's still a high but not insane price, especially if you're maxing out the specs on the computer in the first place.

      I amssuming these wheels are 2 inches in diameter and the rims on an apple car are 18 inches and that the tires add another 3 inches plus the fact that it will presumably be 8 inches wide. If the Mac pro wheel is $700 for 4, this makes 1 wheel $175. $175 x 10.5 for the rims and tires it makes 1 inch wheel $1,837.5. Multiply that by the thickness by the wheels which is 8 inches and you get $14,700 for each wheel. For each wheel. That means a set of 4 will be $58,800. Combined with the brakes and rest of the suspension setup, the wheels, suspension and brakes alone could be well over $100,000. The rest of the car I shall leave it to your imagination.

    We are a theatre that uses a Mac Pro with wheels for running projection a media server. Our use case is that the Mac Pro has to travel between different locations so this is why we got the wheels. The price is insane but at a professional level no one cares about spending that much for wheels if it gives the functionality of being able to easily move a beast of a computer around to different locations.
