2 Inch Bumper Plates, 10-650lbs, Barbell Rubber Olympic Weight Plates Set for Home Gym, Strength Training & Weight Lifting, Multiple Options Colors

I was looking for a few lower weights to complete my set and I needed something that fit the color scheme of my other weights. For the price, you cannot find better. I am very happy with these plates.

This is a great economical set of bumper plates; you're not going to find a better price for colored bumpers anywhere. The bushings seem secure and the plates have a good bounce to them, so you know that they're absorbing some of the force of impact, as they should. They aren't perfect, though. There are some cosmetic issues. You can see from the pics I put up there is some flashing on a few of the plates and beveling in some areas of one that looks like it was gouged slightly to remove flashing, or not enough rubber was injected into the mold. It's a negligible amount that won't affect the weight or balance in any discernable way. The plates that look orange on the site look quite a bit more pink to me IRL and there is also a small bit of discoloration on one of the plates. When removing then from their plastic, there is a slight odor that you'll be familiar with if you've ever been around newly processed rubber. There is also a thin oily coating on the plates when you take them out. None of these are real problems, though. The odor will eventually disappate, the oil comes off easily with a shop towel, the flashing will probably fall off on it's own from use or can easily be removed with careful use of a carving knife or small pair of scissors. I also don't care that a couple of the plates look kind of pink. It's still a five star set. The only caveat I will leave you with is this: this is a new purchase for me. I can't make any comment on the long-term durability of them. If they do have problems, I'll post an update. Until then, I wholly recommend getting them.

Plates look good and I know it’s going to help with training and getting fit for me and my wife.

Excellent for my garage gym

At around a $1.50 a pound for this set is a pretty amazing price. So all in all these are good weights to buy I gave 5 stars because the value for what you get is very good even taking into account the unpleasant aspects of them. I haven't weighed them all yet but the ones I did were pretty accurate. They look decent although on the the 15's I received the lettering is inconsistent in coloring , it is really light in some places. These are not on the par with my rogue competition chrome hub bumpers obviously, however they look good even though they have some imperfections like I had a plate with the green stripe glued in a little crooked and hanging out of the slot. I trimmed it with a sharp knife and it looks fine now. There are a few edges I drag trimmed that were a little sharp I waited over a month to review these for one reason , The awful smell! I initially bought a set of 20's as a test before buying the set as I hate that nasty rubber smell. The 20's after I unboxed them they smelled a little. I put them in the bathtub as I always do with new bumpers , washed them with some mister clean, and they didnt smell any worse than some of my other plates . I recommend doing this outside if possible. The slickness washes off pretty well . I have to put my nose right up to them to smell anything much like my 5 year old rep plates. So I bought a 160 lb set as I have enough heavier plates and wanted the smaller ones. I unpacked them and OMG they stunk! My gym is in my living space across the hall from my bedroom so when I first got them I could smell them from my bedroom doorway. Since the month has passed most of them calmed down and you have to directly sniff them to get the strong smell. One pair however , the 30's, I can still smell from about 3 feet away. If you have a garage gym or outdoor gym this isn't probably much of an issue for you but in your living space it may be, although with time the smell seems to dissipate. One area I haven't touched upon is durability from dropping. Although that may be a key feature for some people, I am not dead lifting or Olympic lifting at all in my home gym. I have bumpers for the quietness, color coding/aesthetics, and the potential for accidental dropping. Hopefully if that is important to you one of the other reviewers will cover it. Tips- unpack and wash them outside if possible. Get rid of the packaging as soon as you can , it stinks. If you can leave them in a non living space to air out.

I love the color plates but we've had this just for a few weeks now and I've noticed one of my 15lbs one is already having pieces sticking out. Like the material is coming out on the edges. We have floor mats on our flooring and don't slam anything down so it's a bit discourage that they're already having pieces coming off. The heavier weights def have more of the oiliness to them but overall they all had a decent amount.

I am in the process of building my home gym, and needed high quality, affordable bumper plates to be able to do power cleans and other exercises that require the weights to hit the floor not-so-gently. Upon some research, I happened to come across this brand, and decided to purchase the set of 45s, 25s, and 10s, and so far I have been impressed. These weights came in nice packaging, and it was a breeze to take them out and begin to use them. The weights have that traditional, funky, somewhat bitter rubber smell to them, so if you're not really a fan of that smell, I'd recommend giving a good wash, which is what I did. The weights are solid, and I personally find it nice that the physical sizes of the plates makes it easier to tell them apart, but also the color of each bumper plate lettering and numbering makes it even easier to tell them apart. The plates are pretty easy to grab and have a solidness to them that I like. One thing that I particularly noticed and liked is that when I added the 45s along with traditional iron Olympic plates, these bumper plates keep the other ones from hitting the floor by virtue of being physically bigger. I can honestly tell that this is going to be a lifesaver for the floor of my garage. Overall I think that while these are pricey when compared to iron weights, for rubber plates, these are a steal and definitely recommend having at least one pair around.
