Car ramps - what is a good reasonably priced set?
I am looking at some Rhino Gear ramps for around $40-$50. Anyone have a recommendation for our Camaros with 20 inch wheels? Looking to use for oil change.

Rhino ramps are crap, don't waste your money. Their angle of rise is too steep for the Camaro, they slide, and they aren't designed for wide tires.
I use Race Ramps. They are a little on the expansive side but they are among the best you can buy and you will never have to buy another set of ramps again. |

Was thinking Rhino ramps as I have seen many threads/posts from people on here using them without issue

I've been using the Rhino without issue but want to get the two piece Race Ramps. Which length ramps are best? Automatically I'm thinking 67" but only because of the little extra height. Obviously pricing is better on the shorter set.

+1. The price of entry sucks but they are quality. I purchased the two piece 67. Love them.
