Looks like a tool to aid lining / fitting the wheel rather than removing to me ?
Depending on size of wheels / tyre, yes can see benefits from one if you struggled to line up bolt holes... not used one, but only thing I can think could be an issue is lifting / placing wheel over it to slide down - obviously weight depending... |

You could still very easily catch the barrel of your wheels on your brake callipers if using one of those so they strike me as pointless.

As Andy has suggested, usually for fitting large heavy wheels which are secured by bolts rather than studs. Often used in the trade, and very useful.

I saw something very similar being used on a Porsche. That person put two rods in so wheel had to line up square coming off and going back on.
Remove two wheel bolts and put two rods in place then remove the other three bolts - simples!! |

I can see the logic of using plastic but cold weather can make it brittle as some of the posters on Audi forums have found out. Derek. |
