CAP Barbell Rubber Olympic Bumper Plate | Multiple Options/Colors

I received my pair of white 10 pound Cap competition bumper plates today. Delivered on time. At just over a dollar a pound, they're a good buy for me. I already have 25 and 45 pound bumpers ... I just needed a couple of extra10s, and these were cheaper than a pair of basic iron 10s I was considering.They do not smell. They are not greasy or oily -- they arrived dry and clean. There were no metal shavings or other debris in the package. The white rubber has some very slight discolorations in it (don't care), but is not chipped or scratched. The center is nicely machined, smooth metal.For potential buyers who may not be familiar with bumper plates, a couple of observations:- These are skinny 10 pound bumpers, so they flex easily, as do all 10 pound bumpers - cheap or expensive. I will not be using these alone on the bar.- And yes, bumper plates are all the same diameter regardless of weight - some reviewers seemed to think that's a problem.- And, also normal, they do not have much of a lip to grip, as some iron plates do. They certainly do not have handholds cut into them. Again ... this is normal for bumpers.Thanks Cap!

55 Lb Competition plates - I've been using these for over a year, and they're fantastic. When you consider the price, I don't know why anyone choses anything else.The plates have lived outside on my covered porch, and look about as good as when they were new. They're surprisingly thin for a 55 lb bumper.When my maxes improve and I need more plates, I'll be ordering more of these.

Weight plates pair of 15lbs just came in. They fit perfectly on to my Olympic barbell 35lb. They are smelly and oily. Weight is weight. Don’t to need spend more $ on more expensive brands.

I ordered two Cap 45 competition plates and they both weighed in at 45.6 lbs which is just over a 1% variance. Rogue color echo plates (guaranteed less than 1% variance) are twice the price of these. I think they're an excellent value particularly viewed next to name brands. Hopefully they hold up over time - if I have any quality issues with them, I'll come back and update.Update 1 - after using them for a few weeks I've made the following observations. They're super bouncy compared to Rogue echos I've used at commercial gyms. I would say they bounce a solid 4-6 inches when dropped from weight height. I also noticed that the steel collar in the middle of the weight is very snug on the barbell - especially compared to the iron plates I have that make a lot of noise and have a lot of play. I'm very pleased with them especially after I noticed how snug they fit on the bar.

Great for the price plenty durable for home gym accurate weights.

Great weights they have a rubbery smell but it does go away like within a week

Absolutely great value . Yes the plates have. Smell . There’s a fluid that’s required when the rubber is pressed to form the plates at 30k psi so they can get the plates out of the forms . Just use water and degreaser and let the plates sit outside for a day .

Rubber is a bit stinky and oily. But a pair of 45 lb 'PRO' bumper plates was barely more than a $1.25 per lb, shipped. I tried finding something local because I didnt want some poor dude hauling these weights to my door, but everything was double to triple in price. Good value, we'll see how they hold up.
