I think this is listed under their old name - OneFitWonder. Anyway, I managed to find an absolute monster of a deal - I scored the 100lb rubber plate set (10s, 15s and 25s) for $100. Thank you algorithm. It's not back up to $400ish?The plates are thinner than crumb bumpers. They did have to be aired out for a few days - comes with the territory. Packaging was solid. Plates new and arrived in great condition.

These plates aren't severely loud when dropped, are equally sized, and slide on and off well. The rubber smell is negligible; I just got horse stall mats in my gym and they reek in comparison, and aren't even all that pungent. They don't mark bare concrete, and seem very durable. The construction on these is purportedly much better than standard bumpers and I'd believe. Strongly recommend these to any lifter who's not in need of competition bumpers, which is probably >98% of all lifters reading this.Will update with comments on longevity, etc. in future.

Holding up really well. I'll update with further use, but I can tell they are quality. The pair comes in their individual boxes taped together and the boxes arrived in rough shape, but didn't effect the bumpers at all. They were slightly slippery at first and the odor was low, but defintely present. After a few weeks (with use) they aren't oily anymore and there is no discernable odor coming from them anymore.

All plates are within 1lb of stated weight and have a very light fresh rubber smell.

5.0 out of 5 stars I got these to replace my Standard plates!

These are perfect, the perform as they should and have very little bounce compared to others. I replaced all my 45's steel plates for these. Buy them you will not regret you did. I'm not a fan of bumpers as they do take up a lot of barbell space, but they are pretty accurate over the steel Standard plates which I had the Standard delivered to me 3 to 5 pound off stated weight. Buy these you will love them.

Given the price tag, one could be skeptical about the quality of these plates. The difference between these plates and the standard bumper plate is the density. Bumper plates that are typically found in very free-weight centered training facilities have more give; however, that doesn't necessarily take away from the quality of Onefitwonder's bumper plates. The solid construction of these plates almost seem more durable, but with less give from drops. I've never been a proponent of dropping weights unless it was to prevent myself or others from getting hurt. Therefore, the density of these plates hardly poses an issue.I've had these plates for about a week or two, and I've had to air out the garage a bit to get the rubber smell to circulate out. Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is a small issue, but not a deal breaker for me. It would be wise to keep these plates in a well ventilated area, but if your home gym is in a more confined area, I'd recommend opening the windows, when applicable, and maybe running some fans to alleviate the odor.The weight seems to be true, and the construction is solid. I had no issues putting on and taking off the weights from the bar. Overall, this product is not perfect, but it is surely unbeatable in price and is a great buy for anyone building a home gym on a budget.
