I want some to make some good solid as f*ck ramps that are wide enough to accomodate 225 tyres...all the ramps you can buy are 210 max which is no good.

Thats a good idea Rich to use them to make some decent ramps.
At least you will know there solid and prob wont move when driving up them due to their weight!!
[/ QUOTE ]
Thats the plan. Just need to find somewhere local to get a few. 10" tall ramps would be ample to get under the car... and i wouldnt be scared sh*tless of the thing falling on me. The places on the net all charge a fair bit for delivery.
