Car ramps

Hi all, Trying to buy some of the drive on car ramps suitable for 8”/9” wide wheels. No one seems to sell them. Can’t use my old ones as they are not wide enough and anyway are over 40 years old and wifey won’t let me use them. Has anyone on here bought any and if so from where? And how much? Thank you all in advance. :thumbsup:
 
I bought a pair of these, but have to run the car up on a plank first so they clear the front spoiler.
Reversing on the back wheels is no problem.

Must admit I've had them three years or more and I don't remember them being that expensive.
But they've had lots of work and no issues.

Thank you enuff_zed, that's more of what I'm after, bit pricey though. :thumbsup: But been wanting to do some of the easier jobs myself. Do they slip out while driving up? OMG no jokes please. :rofl: Mike.

I have a gravel drive so they tend to dig in anyway.
With the front wheels needing to go up on planks first, then the wheel is almost dropping slightly onto the ramp so that should hold it.
But I cannot say I've tested them on a smoother surface.
The old method used to be to attach a piece of carpet to the ramp so the wheel ran onto that first and held the ramp still.
 
Just found my old order. It was May 2020 and from Amazon.
Not sure they still do them as there's no price on it now.

Thank you enuff zed, I looked on Amazon and got sent to sealey. That price at power tools is v. Good. This forum is such a good place for help and info. Thank you again.
 
Thank you davep1000, they do look good but one reviewer said he only received one ramp for the price shown. And is not clear on the advert if this is the case. Would seem a bit odd though.
