Ahh ok, gotcha. They look good. I am still rocking the stockers and want to change them up.

For lowered cars or for vehicles that are a pain to jack up i use homemade ramps. Like the ones in the Picture i found on the bmw forum

. The height increase over the length of ramps in minimal so it wont hit your bumper as you drive up.

Only thing is they are heavyyyy, at least for storage they stack together nicely.

I bought a pair of the 16000 lb Rhino Ramps today for $63. They just touch my splitter & air dam, but do butt up against the tire on my concrete driveway. I really didn't want to spend $300 on the Race Ramps for just changing fluids, even tho' the Race Ramps are of a much higher quality. They are slightly lower than the 12000 lb model but are wider & the 285/35/20 tires do not overhang off the sides. Changed the oil/filter today & they worked well.

I had Rhino Ramps but returned them after hearing(and seeing)some stories of them failing. I agree, I want to but the Race Ramps but I'll just have to use the old jack stand and car jack until I can afford them. If you are using the Rhino Ramps to do an oil change, an oil change at the dealer costs $70 bucks by me(NJ), so after 4 or 5 oil changes, it will pay for the Race Ramps itself. Just please be careful. I've seen a car collapse on someone and he was lucky there were enough of us around to get him out. I'll never forget it.
