It's a windows media player play list.

Save it to file then open it with WMP

Yeah those are pretty fackin sweet. How much do you think they cost per tire/wheel, though?

I bet they ride really nice....

I didn't bother to watch the film since it wouldn't load right, but I'm going to assume that the clip talks about those new "Tweel" things, right? where the tire and wheel are integrated into one? I saw those on an Audi on some webpage a few months ago.

Personally I don't think the technology is useful. If you think about it, you're still going to have to replace the rubber part, so you won't save money, and now you won't be able to use you're choice of wheels. Bye Bye spinners. Now, while getting rid of gaudy wheels might be a good thing, I just don't think anyone would buy this over a conventional design. Sure, it can run without air, but can it bling? I don't think so.

Of course it can. Just replace the whole wheel like you did before. Decorative designs are on the way.

Plus as far as practicality, they are predicting this wheel to last much longer than the traditional tire, and also act dualy as a suspension system for a smoother ride.
