I think I know what it is!

How about a TENSION Meter. A device that measures wheel spoke tension. The two little tabs on either side are placed between the spokes, and when pressure is applied, the lights would light it a predetermined tension was found. The rod type object along the back may have been placed along the rim or hub so the measurement was taken at the same point all the way around the wheel.

I would think this came from a dealership( just a guess) and was used for helping true a damaged rim.
