$285 for all 3, 205lb of total weight plus a bench and a rack.
Great price, but poor branding.
Yeesh, good luck with that Weider bench. One review states "Possible defective design. Not safe. Was lucky to escape with concussion and minor neck and back injuries."
Yeah, escaping with a concussion is "lucky"

Ordered the colored 160 set in December. A 45 didn't make it due to package damage. The other 45 and both 25s were black (different thicknesses and different hubs) Replacement 45 was slow to ship, and when it arrived, it was a 25 (though the shipping label said 45) Second replacement finally came in, so three orders and a return to get s set of weights that don't match in thickness and hub style. They work (I don't drop so keep that in mind as several reviews say the balancefroms get damaged easily), but adjust expectations.
Walmart Reviews seem to combine both the Everyday Essentials and HOPRO Reviews so it's difficult to tell the difference. Amazon has a slightly higher score on the HOPRO, 4.4 vs 4.3, but nothing to write home about. From what I can gather, the 55 lb has a higher diameter and should be avoided as all the weight falls on that single weight.
Not the same set but I bought the colored BalanceFrom set in December. It took the 10s, one 25, and one 45 a week after they were supposed to be delivered to show up. The other 25 and 45 showed up 3 days later however. Shipping was pretty terrible and I'm surprised they weren't damaged. They function perfectly though

I'm mainly wondering if these are thicker or not. While it may not be a problem for most, I use a shorter bar so the sleeves aren't as long.

There was a SlickDeal yesterday for 2 x 45lbs weights for $99. Not sure if that's a bargain or not though.
