I got some used hockey pucks, and they work just fine! I keep a set in the garage, and carry a set (four) in the car when we travel. I put bolts through one set, but you really don't need to do that. Keep it simple.

Sure you can make them youself, but for less than $20, you can buy a set on the main auction site. To save $10, I am not going to drive to a sporting goods store, then Home Depot to buy the right sized eye bolts, then look for the right size bit etc., etc..
I bought 4 sets. Gave 3 away as xmas gifts to friends who had never heard of them. Sure I could have made them myself. I guess I am just a lazy big spender.

I jacked mine up a few days ago without using any pucks at all. It was the first time I had to jack it up and didn't know if I would be able to do it or not without pucks. There was plenty of space around the jacking spot for the jack not to damage the rockers and I don't have a low profile jack. It was no different for me than jacking up any other car. When I let it down off the jack I looked under there and you couldn't even tell there was ever a jack in that spot.

20 bucks will be well spent. Safe rather than sorry.

What exactly are you doing, as change out to track wheels, and a forum member gave me a BMW rectangular puck, as only doing one wheel at a time. Using a low profile floor jack, and just move the puck around. Reason for the pucks, if you look underneath, the rocker panels roll under the car and there's a gap between the frame. Lifting without a puck puts all the weight on the rocker's first and can crack them.

If you did them yourself, it would be 4x$10 (max)= $40 now were are talking high roller money and you feel like a man for doing them yourself, not a poofster.
Plus 4 sets would be done in maybe an hour and not a week waiting for the mailman to show up with them.

So 4 sets and $20 (please show me the link where they are only $20) = $80
