Just the fact that regular car wheels are cheaper blows my mind

[Epic_Routes]

damn these wheels cost more than the tires on my car, and i got all season !

[PedroPedroPedro-Pedro-Pe]

I once paid 700 (pounds, not dollars) for a 2007 Honda Fit/Jazz and it came with four wheels. They were also made of metal and rubber but the crazy part is they came with brakes!

[Heidegaff]

Fun fact: Those wheels cost exactly $680 more than what an average human would deem as "acceptable" for a set of casters to cost.

Would you rather:
A. Buy an RTX graphics card
B. Buy spinny bois

"the best computer wheels I've ever seen"... How many computers with wheels do you see on a daily basis?

[devvs]

When you realize that the ps5 is cheaper than these wheels

"These brand new, cutting-edge technology wheels intrigue not only with their immaculate design, but also with their revolutionary circular shape and rolling mechanism, designed by Apple in California and assembled by the poor in chinese sweatshops."

Apple is just playing a game called

Would the humans buy it

And they’re winning

[M.V.P.]

These 700$ wheels potentially accelerate your Mac Pro to be the fastest Mac ever.

Worth every cent I guess.

[joemamma]

for $700 i would expect them to freaking levitate

[AlbinoKiwi-vo]

Looking at this from a country where people live for $2-3 a day 💀

[MonkeyMan]

So you’re telling me *$700 wheels* don’t come with a lock

[AbhishekKumar-wizo]

Meanwhile Apple employees be like:
Holy sh*t guys they are buying it

[killbillgrill]

I read 70$ and thought: Damn, that's expensive!

[shapelessed]

The wheels, the 1k$ stand.
These are extramely calculated moves. Nobody is gonna buy them, but everybody is gonna talk about them. They don't affect the brand much and other products, but provide IMMENSE amount of free advertising.

[RenzohsClub]

$700 for tiny wheels?
*imagine the pricing of the Apple Car*

[Starhopper]

Imagine How hard the employees at the Apple store laugh when people buy them. Lol

[damncat]

Wheels: **cost 20$ to make**
Apple: OK guys let's just add $680
