Default Need advice on what to put car with no wheels :(

I found a buyer for my wheels. But I'm going to use that money to order new ones online, so what I can use to put the car on while it has no wheels on it????

Bricks?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I will probably have to invest in 4 jacks?

The car will probably stay with no wheels for a week, are jacks ok with that long?

Not jacks, just jack stands. Something like these....

Should be fine with good jack stands.

As mentioned above . . . you want jack stands, not 4 jacks. Get one jack, and 4 stands.


Got it jack?

Yes, considering the context of the post (which I did not know during the conception of this idea) it would have been particularly ignorant sounding and most likely relatively irritating for the thread owner to behold.
