Older cars had them (50's and back). The tubeless tire came around somewhere in the 60's.
Very few have them today. You can put a tube in any tire, though. People do that if the tire or rim won't hold air. This means there is damage and tire and/or rim should be replaced.
Big trucks even had tubeless tires now although more of them still use tubes today.

What components make up a wheel?
Modern car wheels have a cast metal wheel, so it's all one component. Classical car wheels used to have spokes (like bicycle wheels) and as such, were made up of a central hub from which the spokes branced out - connecting to a circular rim, in the same way as a bicycle wheel. Also, modern car tires are pressure fitted to the wheels, with lips hooking under a rim on the outerside of the wheel, because of this and advancements in tire design, we now have tires with no inner-tubes.

Why are there more tire blowouts on the highways in April rather than December?
Because in April, the temperature of the weather is hot. So, the pressure inside the tires of the car will expand because of the heat. The more the temperature increases, the more the pressure inside the tires of the car increases. So if the tires of the car can't hold the pressure inside it the tire will blow-out or burst. in Dec. the temperature is cold making the pressure inside the tires constant or stable and will not make the tire to burst or pop.
