Jacking Pads

The cheep rubber lifting pads I ordered came in today. Now that I got them I'm wondering if they are strong enough to use without collapsing.
Has anyone used rubber jacking pads? There are aluminum ones available but I was to cheep to get them. Now I am wondering if I should get them.

I've used these for years with no problems. They are cheap and if you know the kid down the street that plays hockey for a school team, he'll probably give you a few for free.
Just a thought!

The rubber one's will never collapse or let your car slide off your jack stands like the aluminium can do

I'm using them on my '12 GS and my son's '01. Best of all they are there all the time. Only way they can collapse is if you are using a bottle jack to jack up your car.

Otherwise very
