These are utter trash. Bought a set and immediately returned them.

Hub was off center, rubber coating split along the edges. Probably don't even aweigh the correct amounts, but didn't check.

Edit: My purchase was in early 2023.

I've never had an issue with these, but I bought them 3 years ago. So far holding up well.

I purchased mine around the same time, the colored set of 370 lb. Outside of some minor scuffs on the weights upon receiving, they've held up well so far with using 4x/wk. I would buy again

The 160lb set is the only one I would consider. The other sets have 35lb and/or 55lb plates. I'm not smart enough to calculate weight with 35 or 55lb plates. 10lb, 25lb, and 45lb plates with a pair of metal 2.5lb and 5lb plates are the only plates I ever use. I would need 4 more 45lb plates, but the 45lb single plates are not available.

Just be careful with the 10lb plates. They are extremely thin and not durable. You can taco them with your barehands.

The colored weights boast aesthetic appeal, yet their stainless steel insert presents stark angles, demanding precise alignment when fitting onto an Olympic bar. In contrast, the black weights feature a subtle curve for hassle-free attachment. However, BalanceFrom's colored plates come with a significant advantage — virtually no scent, while their black counterparts might emit a strong odor persisting for weeks, or even months. So, you're left with a choice: a scent-free experience with a bit more effort in bar attachment or an easy fit with a lingering rubbery reminder.

I've bought so many plates and kettlebells this year my UPS driver warned me I better look like Lou Ferrigno before he delivers any more weights

Bought these earlier this year. Outside of being a little greasy, perfectly fine.

I got these as well. They are great. Definitely worth the value. I just throw them around and I'm okay with them getting scratched up

Order these instead, a couple of the sets are the same price. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Balanc.../166337921
I've directly compared these which I bought to the ones listed in this deal and the former is a lot better quality. You can tell the difference easily from the steel hub, you want the rounded hub not the flat one. Like someone else mentioned, the 10lbs of the flat hubs bend super easily, this is not the case for the rounded hubs

I was surprised to read this, but there area a number of amazon reviews that indicate the black ones might be better quality.

One review in particular [amazon.com] has pictures that shows the 45s are even a larger diameter than the rest of the plates, which obviously isn't great if you're planning to use these as intended.

If you need somebody to explain the difference between iron plates and bumper plates and when each one is more appropriate to use then that tells us you have no idea what each one is for.
Go ahead and educate us

As far as colors, I'm wondering if there can be green 25s on these sets. A previous deal for 25# pairs came in green, which is the standard color for other brands, as opposed to yellow.

It would be great to see a set with yellow 35s and green 25s. Has anyone ever seen a yellow 35# plate from this company? It's weird that they had both yellow and green 25# plates.

So if you need 4 45's you might just do ok with two 55s (10lb more than a 45) and two 35s(10lb less than a 45).

How's the 370 with Bar package at 450, is the bar worth another 80? https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/1281004634
