Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plates – Free Weights with 2-inch Hole & Anti-Rust Hammertone Finish - Ideal for Strength Training, Crossfit Equipment & Home Gym Set – Sold in Pairs - 2.5LB–45LB

I know this name brand is quality, however, this review is only to say back then. UPS failed once again to delivery them. Never got them. After my refund I had to purchase from academy. So sadly I can't say much except to say I have used this brand before and it was good.

They are nice. We have expensive plates o. The gym floor and these fit in. I like the finish and the weight tolerance is good. They weigh about 44.8lbs which is good for a cast iron generic plate.

These are the super heavy cast iron 2.5 lbs. They are 2.5 lbs. 5 stars

Good for it price

Perfect solid weights, that actually match to the scale!

I bought the 45lbs plates. The finish is very nice and durable. The dish and lip are good for gripping when loading and unloading the bar at height. The hole is machined well and slides on the collars without binding or rattling. I did weigh the plates and one came in at 44.5lbs and the other at 46lbs. So pretty close to the 45lb target considering these are not calibrated plates. Pro tip: if you encounter this problem and really want your plates to match, buy some magnets and stick them to the lighter plate inside the dish near the hub.

Like these because they are thin enough so that as you get stronger you can fit a lot of plates on the bar. We have tried many different options but thicker plates just take up too much space on the bar and when storing. Sometimes the enamel can chip on these but we are very hard on equipment and not g you wouldn’t expect with normal wear and tear.

So, the only issue I had with this is was the delivery. The person may have got fed of carrying this out of the delivery vehicle and carried it a few feet to my driveway then left it there. Luckily I live in a small town where people know each other during that time so I received my package. Other than that, I am happy to put it on a bar, pick it up, and put it back down. Functions as a weighted plate you can use at a local gym.
