Affordable quality! Our VTX high grade, wide flanged, “quiet iron” rubber encased Olympic grip plates feature 3 slotted gripping areas (45lb, 35lb, 25lb and 10lb only) that actually raises them off of the ground, providing easier lifting and loading from a prone or angled position.
The durable rubber coating protects the plates, floors and other equipment from damage. Raised reinforcements on both sides of each grip slot help make it a true institutional plate and the choice of trainers, world wide.
Center bores are precision drilled for a snugger fit on most 2” Olympic bars. Warranty: 1 year.
Choose from our 300lb, 400lb or 500lb sets.

Overwhelming rubber smell
By David
from Vancouver, WA
on March 17, 2017
Verified BuyerWell, they're weights so the do the job. But smell so bad of rubber I can barely stand it. Been Googleing for 2 days and there seems to be no consensus of how to get rid of the smell or if it will ever go away.
Cons
- 3 hole position makes it harder to use the plates when not on a bar.
Excellent quality; beautiful equipment

Verified BuyerI recently purchased the VTX Rubber Encased Olympic weight set as I had saved up some money and wanted a nice weight set to go with my new Powertec Lever Gym.
It has been said that your body doesn't know the difference between expensive weights and inexpensive weights; while this is absolutely a fair statement, I have to disagree in one regard: aesthetics. My hands and my eyes are part of my body, and I love how these weights look and feel. The rubber coating is beautifully applied; thick and even. In the entire set I didn't find a single flaw. The center ring is metal and just adds to the overall look of the set.
I like having nice equipment when I can afford it and I feel this weight set is absolutely worth the price (and looks kick-ass in my gym).

Pros
- High quality
- Thick
- Easy to grab handles with the offset opening on 25 lb and larger plates
- Rubber coating is easy to hang on to for 'off the bar' exercises such as Russian Twists and Shoulder Plate Rotations.
- The Olympic bar is just as high quality as the weight plates
- Set comes with two, solid spring collars (handy if you don't already have any collars)
Cons
- Plates are almost too thick. Even with six weight horns, between my home gym and weight stand, I actually ran out of room for all the plates.
Great Purchase - Worth every penny

Couldn't be happier - the weights are high end. Won't flake like traditional plates. The look and feel are high end - look great in my personal gym. Fast shipping and GREAT customer service.
Pros
- - rubber coating
- - grip handles
- - built to high standards
- - packed well for shipping
Cons
- - a bit wider than my old plates
Would strongly reccomend.
