Fast shipping and great weights for the money. I looked all over for available kg bumper plates and this was by far the best value. The new rubber smell was barely present (less than say a basketball would have) and dissipated completely in a couple days. The colors and design are good. I admit I didn't really understand the thickness difference between competition plates (similar to what my old gym had) and the training plates I ordered until I saw them in person, but these are great for my purposes. Note to Vulcan: side-by-side comparison of the thickness might help some buyers. Very satisfied, hoping 10kg plates also come into stock soon.
