This youtube channel did several videos on it, and after about a year his plates busted. He was using them for cleans and stuff. His plate separated because these plates are made internally with cheaper rubber than the outside.
This is shown well in another video by another channel that cut the plate in half:

He shows that the two rubbers are not bonded well at all. And his were also coming apart from the two rubber materials.
These two videos convinced me that these are just not at all worth it, if you will be dropping them.
Now, weight is weight, so if you're just powerlifting and not dropping the weight then they should be fine. Although idk why you'd want a bumper plate at all, if you aren't dropping them.
So, I don't own them. But I will not buy these.
For anyone who does have them, my only questions are if they are dropping them. And if so how are they holding up.

Fringe is having an awesome "garage sale" as they call it. 45%-50% off olympic/powerlifting bars.
And plates are on sale too. They come out to about 2$/lb or so depending on the set you get. But, they will assuredly last more than twice as long as these plates, if you plan on dropping them.
I'm fairly new to slick deals, so maybe I should make a post about this deal. I just don't get why we never see deals at better brands for this kind of stuff. If you search bumper plates, it is only deals from cheaper brands. Now some of the cheaper brands are alright, but deals on the higher quality stuff is also worth considering.
For my money, I would get some of Fringes training plates over these, even for the extra cost. They are in KG though, my current plates are in LB's.
