Is there somewhere where I can purchase wheels like this for cheap?
I need some kind of wheel that has that type of groove. It can be any material. Where could I purchase something like this for less than the hundreds of dollars that Professional dolly wheels go for?

These bearings are both strong and cheap, circa 0.50 USD per bearing at the time of this writing. Also the hole in the center of this bearing perfectly fits a 5/16-inch diameter bolt, so you can bolt them onto things.
These bearings get used a lot in homemade CNC machines, and those 'ibles are probably the best place to see some pictures of these bearings in action.

And once I thought about it for a sec, I remembered that my parent's home, a turn of the century mansion-ette they bought for a song and saved from the white flight in our area during the late 1960s, has a carriage house (the pre automobile, "proto-suburban" garage) which uses similar hanging rollers for both the main door and an interior door that services what was once a one horse, two pony stable.
Still used for sliding doors. The best I could find with a quick search was a ?nylon? roller version via this link @$91 for a four wheel unit.
