Yeah, wireless systems are really not wireless at all. You need to provide power to the rear channel audio receiver, and still run speaker wire to the rear channel speakers. The only benefit will be that there is a wireless division between the front and rear of the room.
In my opinion the results are nowhere near worth the expense. You will end up paying more money for lower quality sound. I mean if that's what he wants... well maybe you should just get him a BO$E system...
I think it would be more worthwhile investigating how to discretely run two pairs of copper wire around to the back of the room. In my house I have tucked the wires under the baseboard moulding, behind the tack strip for the carpeting. I can fit a good quality coaxial TV cable in there and some smaller gauge copper, like 18ga.
