I'm skeptical. Why wouldn't this work for sand rails and WRC cars on gravel?

Because sand rails have paddle tires, and those work better.
I would think these would have problems in a pneumatic configuration where it would be hard to distribute load consistently across a wavy sidewall.
Also I have a hard time believing these are any better than a straight grooved conventional skateboard wheel would be or maybe a "helix" grooved conventional wheel.
The video seems eerily similar to a snake oil infomercial.

This is how that video watched in my head.
Guys i have invented a shape that fits perfectly in a cube, and because of this useless irrelevant piece of information, it is a transportation breakthrough.
I call it the circle

When I rolled it, it rolled. GASP *cut to rolling montage*

The trick is, it leaves a straight line in the sand creating better stability

What do you think of my invention the "fish wheel"?
Yep thats a circle.
