There are two main types of wheel wrenches: Extendable wheel wrenches and wheel wrenches for 4x4s.
Extendable wheel wrenches
Extendable wheel wrenches have an extending shaft that gives extra leverage when loosening tight wheel nuts.
They are manually driven with a square drive to connect different diameter sockets to remove a variety of wheel nut sizes.
Wheel wrenches for 4x4s
Wheel wrenches for 4x4s have a shaft that contains a non-detachable socket of a single size. These wrenches are available individually with different sized sockets, however.
This wrench is known as heavy-duty, and is for larger vehicles such as a 4x4s.
