Just got them and just drove my 2016 Hyundai Veloster up onto them without any issue at all. The angle works. Does NOT hit.
They're the easiest ramps I've ever driven up on. They don't move at all when driving up, or back down. A breeze to use solo. I was on concrete.
I have some Rhino Ramps, but I've never felt comfortable with the molded plastic-like material and ribbed structure underneath. I could always see portions bulging which I didn't like even though I used jackstands in conjunction with them.
These are solid, heavy-duty foam or foam-like material. Solid material all the way through. No ribbed structure supporting the load. Solid. They are very light, about 6 pounds each.
They're pretty amazing. The 7 inches of additional clearance gained is great, and you can get that in a matter of a very few minutes.
They're more expensive than most ramps I've owned, but the way I look at it is that I'll have them for the next 20 years or more, so the cost per year is incredibly low, and the amount of cash saved doing my own maintenance and repairs, not to mention the convenience, is WELL worth it.
I used the info in one of the product pics to determine the 40 inchers would work for my car.
You wedge a yardstick under the front tire (pointing straight forward), angle it up until it hits the lowest point of the bumper/structure, measure from the end of the yardstick to the ground and if it's 10.5 inches or more, they'll work. Mine measured about 13 inches.
If you can afford these, get them. I wouldn't hesitate once you know the angle works for your specific car. The quality and strength are built in.
I love this tool.

Strong, lightweight, useful slope for sports cars
I bought the RR-40 ramps because they have a long slope that clears the front air dam on a Miata (see photo) and aren’t that egg-crate-style injection-molded plastic that I’d never trust my life with. Instead, they are American-made and are composed of a surprisingly stiff foamed plastic that seems to be exceedingly strong and tough.The ramps provide enough height to access the oil drain plug when using a quality mechanics creeper (see second photo), which will be my primary use for these ramps.They have a surprisingly low weight and spoon together for convenient stowage atop shelving (third photo).I couldn’t be happier with these and would recommend them for family and friends in a New York second.

I decided to spend the money on these after the unbelievable high ratings and reviews it received and i have to say I'm a believer now. I bought because i do almost all the maintenance on my Pontiac G6 myself and my garage is really small, so before i would have to jack up one side and remove a wheel in order to have enough room to do simple things like oil changes because my car only sits about 7 inches off the ground normally. I took a picture and added it to the amazon images for this item and i could move a milk crate under the car and still have about 4-6 inches before the top of the crate touched the bottom of the car. that's quite a raise over the stock height and even with the jacked up one side i couldn't get the car that high. something i did find useful before i purchased these ramps were to look up on the actual race ramps website to see how to measure your car to see if you need the 40", 56", or 67" ramps. one thing i noted as soon as these things arrived is for how big they are they are light as a feather. they really feel like a giant foam ramp but have the feel of that 'grip tape' that you can buy at the stores WITHOUT the part that actually marks floors or anything it touches and doesn't has that 'sticky' feel after it is touched. these are truly a top quality product. proudly made in the USA. I would buy these 100 more times if they were ever lost or stolen.
edit: I have owned for a little over a year now and have used these around a dozen times. I bought another car, a Tahoe and work on that frequently as well. I think these are marked 1500# for their weight limit. I'm not 100% sure but I think my Tahoe exceeds that or is very close. Gross weight of that is around 5300 pounds and with this front end supported on these I would think that around 60% of the weight is in the front leaning into these ramps. That's over 3000 pounds then, and they still work. I am still happy with them. Easily worth the money and a must have if you do a lot of car work yourself.
edit 2: I have had these now for over four years and are still in love with them. I have used them countless times on dozens of car maintenance jobs and they have still held up. I still recommend them to people when they ask me about them because they are amazing.

LIght-weight, well-made, non-slip ramps that work well for low-clearance cars.
