Well, I'm not going to use no cheap-o $1.00 hockey puck on my $45,000 Vette. Well, almost $45,000.

A little humor there, guys!

Personally, I like the pucks to stay there all the time.

yep but i moved to hawaii and the sporting goods store doesnt carry them. i used just a small square of 2x2 and because woods soft like rubber i dont have to worry about metal pucks scratching the painted frame rails.

Just slap them on, like you would a hub cap. Once on they won't come off. I've had mine on for almost 3 yrs, don't be afraid to use a little force

The BMW pucks will work but they are thin. Some jack's lifting platforms have raised areas around their perimeter so when positioning the jack you have to take care as not to come in contact with the rocker. I bought one then decided to make a set of the double hockey puckers.
