BalanceFrom Color Coded Olympic Bumper Plate Weight Plate

I’m not sure why the negative reviews on this. For the price, it’s a really solid deal. The rubberized texture feels like it’s a quality material and it fits smoothly on the bar as it should. No complaints here!

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.

UPDATE 7/02/23 After using these along side with the set of Rogue bumpers i own there is a significant difference in the bounce from chest high and overhead lifts. I would still recommend and purchase these again but if you are in a tight area this might be a problem. They bounce probably 2-3x higher than the Rogue plates. I noticed this when is dropped 135 from overhead with one rogue 45 and one of these on the opposite side. Still a great set of bumpers and i have no regrets. I have this 260lb set of bumpers along with a much more expensive set and honestly I can't tell any difference. Will the more expensive brand wear better or last longer? Only time will tell. The feel and look of these bumpers I rate a 10. The weight seems to be spot on as well. Guess the last mention is the bounce....they dont. I can drop them from overhead and they settle down quickly as they hit the floor. Would buy again 100%.

These are definitely not Rogue. The collars feel cheap, scratch easy, and I’m not sure about overall durability. And the smell. Several people have pointed it out. You definitely need to clean these with soap and water, then store them in the garage for a week before bringing them inside the house. They come covered in oil and reeking of plastic. Still, they work. They represent a tremendous value. I’ve been using them and dropping them without issue. Do note if you buy the 10s - they are not strong enough to support a barbell on their own. They will taco over like a bent bicycle wheel.

Great product for the price. I ordered the 370 lbs set in black, but they sent me the 370 lbs color coded set. I ordered the black because they were cheaper. Again, they are heavy (seem to be accurate and precise on the weight) and fit a 2" bar. There are a few things to consider beyond that. The colors are vibrant. My wife said they were clown colors. I think they look cool, but some aesthetically minded individuals might want to keep that in mind. I have a commercial grade rubber floor in my basement and the weights scuff the floor a bit if you move them around on the rubber flooring. It cleans up easily and I bought some deadlift ramps to make adding weight easier. The manufacturer states that dropping the 10 lbs weights alone on the bar will bend them and I believe this. I also think this might happen with the 15 lbs plates. I have used them for about a week for most of the basic lifts (bench, deadlift, squat, overhead press, etc.). I have not tried them with any cleans yet, but I do not anticipate any issues (using them with a CAP Beast barbell). Overall, a great set for home use.

Great product, two problems. First, purchased a 260lb plate set, received everything except a 25lb plate. Order said "running late, but on the way" for 3 months. Then one day it just said delivered on the original delivery date. It's been 6 months, still no plate. My second, less important complaint is.. lack of uniformity smells like lack of professionalism to me. All my plates came with flat, printed text, which I like. Except the 35lb plates, they are stuck on and have a raised surface. Just a little gripe I have, and want to warn my fellow OCD'ers. Overall I love these plates for the price point. Just know they may not all be the same, and you may not get the full order you paid for. This is my 3rd time trying to post a review, they keep getting blocked for some reason.

I have a set of plates like this in 10lbs, different merchant from Amazon. These R 15lbs & gorgeous, yea...I said gorgeous (weights can be gorgeous if u love weights🤣). They R my favorite sz since my 1st introduction to these big weights. My love for them is the SIZE, the distribution of weight vs size makes them feel lighter (I.M.O.) I lay on the floor with them & do my stomach crunches/curls while holding them & a side to side standing excercise! The burn🔥 is awesome. My grandson has also become attached to the bigger plates as well💪🏼🏋🏽‍♀️ Btw....the sale on these were greattt! If you hv a gym rat in ur family, get em a set! They'll love 'em!

The plates plastic smell is a little rough, but sure it will dissipate in a few days. These are great plates. I like that they are bumper plates and they are thinner than my old bumper plates. Sometimes I can't get enough weight on the bar. These 45s will definitely help with that.
