Hi 76,
I've used them and they worked fine. Got them from a company in MI years ago (they were a forum vendor way back when). They were very well made, very thick aluminum base, wide, with no little braces on the sides like I've seen on some cheaply made dollies (and which could get in the way when you're trying to position the tire on it). It enabled me to get four cars and a tractor into a three and a half car garage (winter storage back then). Good luck.

Thanx wamara.I am going to put them on tonite.Looks like my Z is in hibernation until April.They will give me a lot more room in my garage.I haven"t heard anyone dicuss them in the C-5 section so was curious as wether they would work on not.
