Sorry here's a vote from a mildly moist part of Europe =>

I always use my jack points. That's what they are there for.

I think it is a very bad idea to "modify" your car so they are non operational. Whilst you as driver and owner may know about your modification it only takes one chap in the tyre shop or one breakdown assistance bloke or someone trying to steal your wheels to make a mess of your car.

So I say use 'em - and if you loose 'em - fix 'em
