As was previously stated...hockey pucks work great...for an added extra, drill a small hole in the middle of each one and put a threaded eye bolt in (with super glue), then screw the eye bolt into the puck. That way, the puck will not fall out of the car.

I love them although they do scuff.

Me, I prefer to waste money on techy looking jacking pucks but I did make my own "race ramps" out of 2x10's...

And be sure to remove the puck when you're done. The eyebolt does not securely attach the puck to the rocker panel.
Oh, and get an extra set of pucks (8 total). That's because you might (just possibly) need 2 pucks per jacking point. Depends on your jack or jack stands. Anyway, cheap insurance for just a couple of bucks.

Or you might need a thinner puck for a low profile jack:
