Pros & Cons
Pros
Both are well made and the weight is exactly what is advertised. They are knock-offs which is fine for what i was looking for.
These are beautiful, coated cast iron weights. Finish is a high gloss and lettering is spot on.
Highlights
Quality
Exactly what i wanted good quality product
I am very pleased with the product as well as the excellent customer service.
I had an issue with the delivery though, somewhere in transit one of my plates received a crack.
They just aren't perfect and don't sit on a barbell like my other quality weights forward.
Price
Price is steep but cheaper than most other places.
Shipping
3, the shipping was incredible got the 4 days earlier then expected!
Fed-ex had shipping issues through my local ground transportation to absolutely no fault of the company.
Initially i only received one of the plates and the other was either lost by the shipping company or delivered to the wrong house.
Somewhere along the shipping route a package was lost and a few messages later i had a guarantee that the problem would be fixed.
Packaging/appearance
I didn't bother to return it to avoid hassle but the packaging itself on both plates was pretty banged up.
Competitiveness
I have a set of these and a few sets of the cap 45lbs plates.
The 45lb plates are as described and are within the correct weight standard.
The hole fits more snug on the barbell and they weigh closer to 45lbs (45.
