Looking to buy ramps for oil changes for my car..

Anyone have these rhino ramps? They are 44 bucks

Opinions? They arent steel ramps, but claim to be stronger than steel, 12k pound limit.

those+jack stands would be fine but from what i've heard they aren't nearly as strong as the claims.

i wouldn't get under a car with just those holding it up but that's what jack stands are for.

i always use a floor jack and then just place stands under it anyway. i never really cared for the ramps myself

I just lift the front of the vehicle with one hand and do the work with the other.

I have a set with a limit of 6k or something. Bought them to get the front end of my Camaro in the air easier. Have used them on a 2011 tundra. Pretty sturdy. Always use a jack stand though.
