I would not recommend this at the price of almost $10/lb. They're cool, support a small business, thin, pretty sexy to look at, but not worth this price. I could maybe see paying a price like this for calibrated plates, but they aren't. Not too far off base when it comes to that, but not spot on, either. I'm not sure if I prefer the bare steel silver look or the gold more. Both look great. My 1.25lb pairs are gold, the rest silver. I'd probably choose the gold if you put a gun to my head, since I don't have any other plates that have that tone to them. Overall, I'd say they're good quality, just the price is too high.
