After looking around to the point of exhaustion I came to the conclusion that when considering price vs quality, these are the best around. The time from purchase to delivery wasn't as short as I wanted it to be. However, that was because the 45 lb bumpers were on backorder. That being said, the time it took for Vulcan to receive new 45 lb bumpers and ship them was still relatively fast. The plates (45, 25, 10) I ordered are straight and solid. The inner ring is well set in place and smooth. All around pleased. These are great quality plates that shouldn't give anyone a reason not to believe that they will last them a lifetime as long as they use them as intended.
