Is there anyone who makes a billet/solid jack point adapter?

Tired of mine deforming. For clarity, I'm talking about the plastic part that's attached to the car. I feel like it could be made of the same material, but solid instead of hollow so that it'll hold up over repeated use. Thoughts?

I have a stainless steel adapter to fit into mine. Unfortunately I'm not really sure where I bought it, I think someone one here was making and selling them. The other issue though is with the adapter it can be hard to get a jack under the adapter.

I guess adapter was the wrong word. I want to replace the oem jacking points with something that doesn't deform under use

They shouldn't deform if you're using an adapter.

I used to have one of these from ECS: https://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-13...3.0L/ES251251/

Now I'm using these. I keep one in the trunk and one in the garage on my jack: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-BMW-Jack-P...529154&vxp=mtr

Totally agree, but I work on my car using a variety of lifts, not all of which can take an adapter. I was hoping for a one stop solution, but I might have to resort to using the adapter
