Mine are yellow plastic 'Rhino Ramps'  -  "Another Blitz built product, made in the USA".  I bought them at Wal Mart years ago.  They come in several colors and are rated at 12,000 pounds per pair  -  Not bad for polyethelene!!

The newer versions are a little fancier and a bit more costly  -  I think I paid $25 for mine

For the best jack stands, if you have the money - see

The center top comes off, set it on top of your floor jack, and the base wraps around the jack in the raised position. Then lower the car onto the stand, and pull the floor jack out.

 

I use it on my mobile service van along with a OTC aluminum racing jack. This eliminates the age old question of where to put the jack stand after lifting the vehicle at the factory location. Effing brilliant. They are light and works correctly every time. And safety -  way stronger than any stamped steel or plastic ramp.
