Body-Solid Steel Grip Olympic Sets: Fully-integrated, Quad-grip design guarantees safer and easier performance than any other plate on the market.
Accurate within 2% or better of stated weight, Body-Solid Steel Grip Olympic plates are cast from the highest quality gray iron, creating an exceptionally strong and durable product.
Feature baked on hammertone gray finish that is durable, chip and rust resistant. Heavy lifting has never been easier or safer.
For a home gym, the grips make this perfect without spending over a $1000 for the same. this is just cast plates so not beautiful, but for a home gym, CANNOT beat the price. when it is all said and done, it is weight, no matter how it looks. I just know from experience in a home gym (meaning cramped space) the grips really help out when moving plates in tight spaces.
Pros
Grips for the right price
Cons
Wish it had the higher end center collars of stainless steel to prevent any burrs or rust buildup making sliping on and off the plate difficult. No problems yet, but will in time....just need to brush it all down and keep clean.

Body solid Steel Grip Olympic Weight Set
June 16, 2016
I really like the set and will probably add to it in a few months. The only problem I see and not sure if it is a problem. but the barbell itself rattles a little like something is loose. I will have to call and inquire about it, so that is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars....I weighed it and it came just under 45bls which is no problem.
Pros
Nice feel and look to the set
Cons
None at this time, will not be able to fully use it until the rack arrives

Very solid weight set

Very solid and easy to grip...only negatives would be that my olympic bar came dented. However it was replaced immediately. Also the clamps are pretty annoying, need higher quality clamps.
