Comprehensive Review
By Adam Gibson on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022
I bought the 370lb black set for ~$470 including tax. I was sent the colored set. Technically, this was an upgrade, so no complaints. The product arrived after two weeks, over three days (I got 1 weight, then 4 more, and then 7 more on the third delivery). I had a lot of questions about technical specs that I couldn't find answers for in the reviews/comments, so here they are: Width: Yes, the 55lb red weight is thinner than the 45lb. Based on my measurements (pictures attached) the red (55) is 2 3/8, the blue (45) is 2 1/2, the green (35) is 2 3/8, the yellow (25) is 1 3/4, the orange (15) is 1 and the white (10) is 13/16. Loading up a bar takes about 10 7/8th worth of sleeve per side. This is pretty slim for cheap bumpers, and allows strong folks to load more weight. The red 55 has the best weight to lb ratio if you're looking to load up. Diameter: As shown in the photos (check the ones with the level), the white, orange, green, and red plates all have the same diameter at 17.5". The blue 45 is about a quarter inch bigger at 17.75. Because the 45 will be taking all the weight by itself, this concerns me for deadlift/Olympic lifts. Tolerance: The white 10s weigh 10.6 and 10.4, which is 4-6% off. The orange 15s weigh 14.4 and 14.4, so 4% off. The yellow 25s weigh 25 and 25.2, so 0-1% off. The green 35s weigh 34.4 and 34.4, which is 1.8% off. The blue 45s weigh 45 and 45.4, so 0-1% off. The red 55s weigh 56 and 56.4, so 1.8-2.5% off. Overall, my 370 lbs weighs 371.6, so less than 1% off overall. I'm pretty happy with this, considering the price. Smell: Out of the bag, they smell and have an oily feel--the weights smell much stronger than the 7 stall mats that I used for the floor. Durability: They haven't been used yet, but the 10 and 15 flex easily in the hand. The Amazon description specifically says don't use the 10s by themselves or they'll fold over--so I think negative reviews for that issue can be disregarded. The rest feel sturdy. Overall, I think I got a great deal. I'm very happy with the tolerance and the width. I imagine the smell will clear up with time. The slightly larger diameter of the 45 concerns me. 5 star until the 45 breaks.

Total garbage
By Jayson Bruce on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024
Bought these on prime day for great price. Thought they would be nice bumper plate at good price. They were delivered October 21st 2024. It is now November 20th 2024. 3 of the 4 plates i bought are either completely failed or are starting to fail. Not even one month of use. No wonder they were on sale. I assume company knew these were total junk and were trying to offload them for some profit. Do not buy, total junk. I have bumper plates that are 17 years old. These did not even make it 30 days with 75% failure rate. Assume 100% failure in the next couple weeks. These are obviously factory defects that they sold on the cheap trying to make me think I was getting a great deal for prime day.
