Removing BOTH rear wheels at the same time?

OK, so we all know that lifting a Roadster by both rear jack points is a bad idea:

So, how can one remove both rear wheels at the same time?

I was thinking something like this:

How fancy do I need to be with that wood block?

Any other ideas?
 
One potential concern is that I assume the brake rotor is held on tightly by the wheel itself. Yes, there a bolt or two holding the rotor, but I don't think the rotor was designed to support the vehicle's weight that way.

So I assume this means I'd need to find a way to support via the control arms....
 
Slight correction....there are not any rear jack points, only front and side jack points... :)

The side lift points lift front and rear on the side of attack.

So, if you want to take both rear wheels off at the same time, you would have to access the rear "lift" points:
