BalanceFrom Olympic Bumper Plate Weight Plate with Steel Hub, Black

If you just want weights then these are good buy. This was one of the first items I bought. I got them off marketplace, still new in the box. Warning, they really smell bad for a while when you first unbox them. I'm not a weight dropper so I just keep these on some of my plate loaded machines. Also a good cheap option if you have some machines that are plate eaters. If you're doing a lot of barbell dropping I'd probably go another direction.

Good budget-friendly bumper option. I got these in a set with 35’s and 25’s pretty cheat from Walmart. They arrive fairly greasy and you may want to let them sit out in the sun for a few hrs.

Bottom of the barrel for bumper plates. Good if you just need weights cheap but I'd personally look elsewhere

They are OK and get the job done. Yes they smell at first, but I didn't think it was as bad as some say and it disappeared within a month. My biggest issue is with the metal inserts in the metal; the 10 lb plates are off slightly and while thankfully they fit on my barbells, they don't fit very well on my weight tree. I will need to take a wire brush or steel wool to the inside and see if I can widen it 1/16" or so. They are fairly wide, which takes up a lot of room on my functional trainer trolley and weight tree.

Great budget pick for bumpers. My brother has them in his gym. They smelled bad for a while but they get the job done. Usually can get these for a $1 an lb brand new.

Leg press sled staple. I got these extremely cheap and while they smell like something awful and tolerance isn’t great, they fit what I needed to just have them fixed on my leg press at all times.

If you are on a budget, these do the trick. I have two sets of 45's and a set of 25's. No issues with them like I have seen with others.

I saw someone buy a set at a big discount and recommended them to others. When I saw how the others came in, it was clear that quality and consistency are optional. They can be extremely useful if you get a good pair. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Pretty much junk weight plates. Obviously if you’re on a budget then having weight to push and pull is #1 priority and assuming it’s safe and not falling apart cheap bumpers will do the job but EE bumpers are absolute junk. Oversized width, poor rubber quality and the inserts are all different tolerances. Rubber color from plate to plate also looks different in the same weight variation. Also plates are off stated weight more than a higher quality brand.
