Does anyone know somewhere that sells these?
I mean the kind that can be used to make a mini rolling road.

Of course they may not actually exist... but I still want some.

[Edit]
Like these, but car sized:

Have a look at this youtube Busfest 2013 Test your Viscous Coupling on VW Transporter T3 Syncro - YouTube It shows the 4 wd VW camper van vcu test. It should nt be too hard to find out where these rollers came from.

They do exist and are specifically designed for the weight of 4x4's. Here in France, the MOT test still requires 4x4 cars to have the full roller brake test done, so they use a pair of these on the axle that is not being tested to allow the transmission to turn freely.

no prices, but this is what you need....
The 4WD brake testing free rollers

hard to find a supplier that lists them with prices.

Sorry for that, so many windows open I put the wrong link in

Try this company they do spares for rolling road brake testers, they also list a couple of ex MOT garage units. also search ebay for "Roller Brake Tester" there's a couple listed.
