There great!

You can make them yourself like R&L's did [if] you can find some hockey pucks, or they sell a set of 4 of them for about $20 on ebay

Just do a search on Ebay for Corvette 'Jacking Pucks' or 'Jacking Pads'.

I got the heavy plastic leave in pucks. They work fine and won't come out till you pry them out.

Another member gave me a single rectangular BMW puck, and works great for swapping to track wheels. I actually punched out the locking guts, and just move it around, during the swap process.

You don't have to "like" them....pucks are a functional product used for a specific purpose. You put them in when needed and remove them when you're done. Pucks or pads may be necessary when raising the car on certain lifts (when the lift arms hit the rocker panels) but in many circumstances, like raising a corner or side of the car with a floor jack, the car can be raised safely without jacking pucks. I hardly ever take my car to the dealership but if I do, I always snap my rectangular BMW jacking pucks in-place beforehand (and I tell the dealership they're installed and what they're for).
