Great plates, color and flecks are uniform, no inconsistencies in the rubber.

I did a ton of comparative shopping for bumper plates, and Vulcan continually proved the best option. Two 45s at just over $200 AND free shipping is nearly impossible to beat. Keep an eye out for sales! The bumpers themselves are clean-looking and of solid construction. No intense rubber smell at all. Very happy with my purchases!

Brought these plates, as well as a set of 55lbs and 2 sets of 45lbs on Black Friday. They arrived within 10 days or so. Great looking color scheme and awesome durability.

After a decent amount of research, I felt that Vulcan offered the best combo of quality and affordability for getting started on Olympic lifting at home. The products were often sold out, so when I had the money and they were available, I ordered a 250 lb. set of Alpha Bumper Plates (10, 25, 45, 45), and a barbell (Vulcan 20kg Men's Training Olympic Bearing Barbell - Single Mark No Center Knurl). I have had these for about 4 months. While I am a beginner, my impression is definitely positive. Plates: - No smell - Low bounce (not above knee, even with just bar and 25s from overhead) - Solid. Been dropping on concrete garage floor and sometimes dirty/pebbly concrete carport floor, no dings, no signs of damage - Easy to tell apart bc of the colors - Raised lip and bevel on edge makes easy to pick up - If you care, the colors/patterns are really vibrant and look good - wipe with rag, look like new - tiny inconsistencies in the bevel when arrived, but overall feel like a great investment and great quality after first 4 months Barbell: The barbell seems to be working well for my needs (snatch, C&J, presses, squats, DLs - just Oly basics). I brush off the chalk daily, and wipe it down properly periodically. One time I left sweaty chalk gunk on it and there were some small color dots, which then disappeared after oiling. Otherwise, no signs of corrosion. If I could do it again, I would spend the extra $50 or whatever it was for the next tier up that has sharper knurl and the chrome-molybdenum, because after having a bare steel barbell previously, which had sharp knurl (but tons of rust) I would rather just have sharper knurl. That said, my calluses don't rip of as much. Also, for something that should last at least a decade with basic care, $50 bucks is nothing (especially compared to a monthly gym membership). Overall, pleased.
