This may have been the weirdest amazon order ever for me. I didn't get what I ordered, I didn't get all of my order, 1 of the 4 packages was lost, one was delivered to the wrong address, the ones that arrived were not what was represented in the listing, each weight was from a different series that the manufacturer offers (they don't match), and the 5's are all 4.5 pounds.
I make it a point not to mention the shipping and or damage in shipping in my reviews but this time I had to mention it even though I did not subtract any stars for it. The 3 stars is my rating of the product only.
I ordered 4 of the 10 pound and 4 of the 5 pound weights initially, I ordered the gray ones. I will review them separately because the quality is not the same between the 2 and I didn't get the grey that I ordered but rather the black 10's from this listing and the handle 5's from a different listing.
The black 10s were over all pretty good , they look decent and 3 were very close to 10 one was about 4 oz shy of 10. They are very thick ,just in case that matters to you. Maybe dont pay extra for the black ones and just order the grey? Or maybe if you order the black you will get the grey? Do you like surprises?
The 5's I ended up reordering these as some of the ones I paid for are on a magic journey in another state. I contacted amazon and they offered a refund and reship but it never happened so I re ordered. I reached out to customer service a second time, promised a refund but I am still waiting.
The 5's are 4.5 pounds. While that doesn't seem like much i dont like my weights to be inaccurate. It seems like they added the handle hole and didn't add back the metal they removed. They look good but are not 5 pounds. Good ego plates but not good if you compete in any way and need accuracy, or if you like to know how much is actually on your bar without subtracting for light plates. So for example if you use 4 of these it is 18 pounds. The appearance and finishing is very good on the 5's, the 10's are a little more shiny but it is not very noticeable.
In the pictures you see car wheel weights which I used to bring them to their proper weight. Not really ideal but I like having my weights correct. The plates are oily and you may want to clean them before use. I went a little extra there so the adhesive for the wheel weights would stick.
Note; I am a glutton for punishment and bought a set of handled 10's from this companys other listing showing the handled tens. I wanted them to be like the 5's they sent me from this order which were not what I ordered but wanted matching 10's as I find myself using these plates in lieu of dumbells frequently, for things like warming up shoulders, allowing me not to have small dumbells around. From their other listing I ordered the matching 10's and nervously waited for their arrival. Low and behold the wrong plates again but I paid more for them (see my full review if you like). I can only conclude that you should buy the cheapest plates that are advertised as you will get a grab bag of styles.
