Looks used the ZL1 Addons https://zl1addons.com which seem to be fine. Many options for these and should all work fine
If you go with leave in ones, be sure to keep the tool in your car so they can be removed if needed in case you are ever towed. Those spots are used for tie downs.

I have a 2016 C7 Z06, need to purchase jacking pads. Where would be a good source to buy from? Looking for a good set! Thanks for your help!
If you want a quality set with a major added advantage (explained below) Reverse Logic has 2 1/2 inch diameter pads GM says should be the max diameter used (I know hickey pucks can work if you push the eye bolt away from the rocker panel!)
Reverse Logic is a Forum vendor. Can be used bolted in or just installed if you are doing the work. Since a Z06 has side skirts may need the 1 inch high pads vs snap in. https://www.reverselogic.us/corvette_jack_pad.html $65/4 free shipping
Some rocker panels are close to the tie-down slots that others. Hence 2 1/2 max recommendation form GM
ADVANTAGE OF REVERSE LOGIC
If going to a dealer with my C6 I always put my jack pads in a clear plastic bag on the passenger seat and would tell the Service Writer to be sure the tech used them on their 14 center post lifts. But would they?
When I got my 2014 C7 GM sent a notice to have the dif fluid level checked. I said my usual with my aluminum pads on the passenger seat. The Service Writer (who I knew from my C6) said: "Don't worry, I will insist they use our alignment rack (they only have 1) as we just cracked a Vette rocker panel and are having to have it repaired!"
With the Reverse Logic pads you can take them apart with the supplied Allen wrench, then remove the white section and bolt them temporally in the Vette. Drive to the dealer than you are sure they are used! They should be removed after the work is done as the stick down and could hit a speed bump etc.
I keep them in my rear compartment in case of a flat etc. I use them like normal jack pads, insert and then remove when finished jacking!
Not the cheapest but as good as you'll find... especially if you wish to leave them in. They are aluminum and won't deteriorate or fall out. And, I've $5K watches that have not come in as nice a container.

Does the one you have pictured above work with side skirts? I noticed on their website that they have an "Extra Tall Jack Pad Tool" however it looks like overkill.

Yep, mine clear the Stage 2 aero full length carbon fiber side skirts I have on my Grand sport WITH my short jack!
The jack is a factor as the jack arm or body could hit even if the jack saddle clears!
I would not buy anything plastic that has to support the weight of the car. Eventually they will fail... Our club actually had a local machine shop make up some from aluminum and stainless steel...
These are both nice options, however do they clear side skirts?
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. There are pictures within the link I attached; one of which is a side view of the bottom with the pucks attached. They are not obtrusive with the side skirts and do not hang down very far. They work for me.
Sorry. A little slow on the up-take. I understand. To answer your question - not sure. I would assume it depends on the type of jack. I just know that the ones I installed will displace any pressure from the jack preventing damage.
