I know this may be a weird question, but does anyone know where I can purchase trustworthy jack-stands for cheap? I'm trying to take off my rims and need jack-stands, I know wal-mart sells them, I'm not sure how much I can trust anything wal-mart sells, I know some auto retailers have them but they were about 100$ more than wal-mart price for the same thing. Definitely don't want my car to drop while on them lol. Thanks.


Edit: Or if anyone knows where I can rent them/borrow them, that'd be even better

 

I drove down to walmart in the states and they had stands ultra cheap.

your best best is Canadian Tire and if you want higher brands , special order

 

I wouldn't cheap out on these. Jack stands are something you can add to your tool inventory and keep forever. Plus there the last thing you want to fail since last I checked its pretty hard to bench press a vehicle off your face/chest.

I wouldn't go crazy either but just something to keep in mind.

 

Epic reply lol.

Yeah definitely don't want that to happen, and on that note, anyone here lift their car on jackstands to remove all 4 wheels? I need to know where to jack the front and rear from and where to put the jack stands to be most stable and to not crush and bend the metal/frame (I checked the forums and there wasn't anything confirmed regarding this); picture or description would definitely be helpful, thanks in advance.
