Apple's $700 Mac Pro Wheels Kit Discontinued Along With Mac Pro

[MacRumors]

In addition to discontinuing the Mac Pro, Apple today discontinued the $700 wheel add-on kit that it sold for the Mac Pro.

The Mac Pro Wheels kit was introduced in 2020, and allowed Mac Pro owners to add wheels to their machine after purchase. The Mac Pro could be bought with a wheel option for an additional $400, but the lower price was because opting for wheels removed the $300 feet.

Apple's kit included a 1/4-inch to 4mm hex bit for installing the wheels, and an installation guide.

Apple also sold a $300 Mac Pro Feet Kit for users who ordered wheels but wanted to swap to standard feet. That kit has also been discontinued. The Mac Pro and its accessories have been removed from Apple's website entirely, and old links now redirect to the online Apple Store.

For Mac Pro owners who want to switch to wheels but are now unable to do so, OWC sells a less expensive Rover Pro wheels kit for $200.

NOOOOO THE PRO WHEELS WERE MY SECOND FAVORITE PRODUCT RIGHT NEXT TO THE PRO STAND

 

[Corefile]

I had them in my Apple webpage cart but they got wheeled away.

 

[twocents]

Lol forgot how these cost as much as a decent set of big boy tires

 

[Unity451]

Dang... I almost had enough money saved up too.

 

[Antilogical]

I am struggling to process this news.

 

[Return Zero]

End of an era.

 

[jayducharme]

Aw shucks. I was going to get a set for my mechanic's creeper....

 

[Adam-Jobs]

Always wondered how they made any profit on the wheels given how cheap they sold them.

 

[riverguide]

To be recycled for the rumored Apple Skateboard Neo?

Surprised there was never an Anker wheels kit that set on fire under heavy usage

RIP (Rest In Place) Mac Pro

i mean, it'd be pretty shocking if they kept selling the wheels after discontinuing the Pro

 

[barnesy99]

Always thought they were a waste of money as they weren't listed as compatible with the Apple Polishing Cloth

Now to be sold off in bulk to Walmart for shopping carts.

 

[lepetitnicolas]

I guess they'll discontinue this too...

 

[jlc1978]

Now waht can I polish with my Apple Cleaning Cloth?

 

[macbookj0e]

Dammit I wanted to get some of these for my 13” MacBook Air.

 

[lewchenko]

Apple should be ashamed of the price they wanted for those wheels. Utterly delusional.
Saying that... don't they charge a few hundred for letting you BUY height adjustment on a monitor stand ??!
How they get some things so right and other stuff so wrong is beyond comprehension.

 

[warriors2017]

I have a slightly used set for $1400 😉

 

[frownface]

Jokes aside, i'm genuinely curious as to whether they sold many of these.

Even though $700 might seem outlandish, if they sold abysmally low numbers of these; they might've lost money on the development & manufacture of them

 

[Heat_Fan89]

Let's hope they don't discontinue the cleaning cloth.

I guess they'll discontinue this too...

That's counterfeit, Apple has the brushed metal strokes going left-to-right, not right-to-left.

RIP (Rest In Place) Mac Pro

I see what you did there! 🥳

The wheels and the cloth were peak Tim Apple.
