“I was pleasantly surprised with my pair of 25's. They came in good shape. They're quality made, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. I'll be purchasing from Titan again.”

“In todays climate it has become challenging to outfit a home gym, not to mention that some suppliers are ripping people off on the prices. I have purchased 4 pairs of Titan 25-lb plates. The 2% spec means that they should be within 0.5 lb of the 25 lbs. Only 2 were within spec (24.6), with 2 others close enough that it is hard to say, though I know my scale is consistent to within 0.2 lb and very accurate. Two were out on the order of 6% and 8%. All plates were below 25 lbs. That said, I have found Titan responsive to issues and the plates that I received are in good shape, except for the weight errors. Given all considerations, I gave the plates a 3 rating. Just be aware of what you are buying.”

“cheaper than other brands, but also worst QA. Tons of paint drips making it hard for weights to be flush or insert onto bar. I might just sand it smooth and respray. bad casting, found holes and chips all over. I don't have a scale to weight them, so can't tell how accurate the weights are.”

“Picked up a pair of 25s at $1.50/pound. Arrived two days later in perfect condition. Both weighed exactly 24 pounds on my digital bathroom scale, so pretty close. Fair enough price during a supply drought and excellent shipping.”

“I just received 3 very nice pairs of 25 lb plates. All 6 plates arrived quickly and in good condition. - the casting for all 6 plates was well done in that the surface was smooth and flat. - the paint on all 6 was generally in very good condition with it being smooth and even. Two of the plates did each have a small spot (< 2 mm in diameter) that appeared dinged during manufacturing/shipping resulting in no paint and a little rust. I'll probably sand the spots down and apply oil to keep them looking good. - The center holes on all 6 plates appeared to be identical in diameter and fit well to my barbell sleeve with minimal play/wobble. - I weighed all 6 plates on an uncalibrated scale multiple times. Past experience with this scale suggests that it reads low although I don't know by how much. My guess is about 1 - 1.5%. Given that, 5 of the 6 plates did weigh in moderately low with the readings consistently being the following: - 23.8 lbs - 23.9 lbs - 24.1 lbs - 24.2 lbs - 24.2 lbs - 24.9 lbs If the scale is 1 - 1.5% low then that would put the 3 lightest weight at slightly lighter than the 2% accuracy that is claimed. The 2 middle weights would be within the 2% accuracy claim albeit on the low side. The heaviest weight would be within the 2% accuracy but on the high side. Overall, I'm happy with the weight readings as 3 of them are probably with 3% of their labeled weights and the other 3 are within 2% of their labeled weights. I think that is pretty good for a non-machined, non-calibrated cast iron weight plate. I've got a pair of 45s on backorder and I'm waiting on the order book to open up on the 10s. Hopefully those will be as good as these 25s.”

“I had some rep fitness plates which I just rated 2 stars. Received these today and theyre much better than the rep fitness ones I have. SMOOTH on the one side for good racking. Nice clean printing. Going to sell my other plates and most likely buy more of these.”

“Ordered several plates and have received a few already - 5 lbs., 35 lbs., 25 lbs.. Minor cosmetic blemishes on the 25 lbs. and 35 lbs. - none on the 5 lbs. 25 lbs. and 5 lbs. were dead on their weight while the 35 lbs. were just a little light, but within the 2% stated tolerance. Very pleased with the value of these weight plates.”
