Default What ramps work best?

I want to purchase a set of ramps for my garage but have read that some will shoot out from under the car while you are trying to drive up on them. Some ads say that their ramps won't do this. What do you guys have and what works best for you?

I bought the Rhino ramps based on the hype here about them.

Unless I was on a rough surface or a slight incline, the ramps would slide foward as I tried to drive up on them. They have these rubber anti skid choks at the bottom that don't work worth a damn in my smooth concrete garage floor. Had to do it out in the rough textured cement driveway.

My spoiler won't clear them even at stock ride height (not lowered) and would only help push the ramps away as I tried driving onto them.

And finally, a 275 width tire is too wide and can't seat into the top platform area properly.

Garbage. I gave them away and stuck to a jack and jackstands.

Race Ramps work very well and can be bought from the usual corvette parts and accessory dealers( mid America, Ecklers,Corvette Central,etc.)
