I have purchased around 260KG of these plates over the past 3 years. All of them are fantastic, and they have held up beautifully. While I have chipped or scraped some of the paint on the edges, I would consider this normal wear and tear, and perhaps even better than normal. I'm posting this review after seeing several complaints about shipping and paint quality. I have had zero issues. I recommend these plates often to gyms that have thick plates or bumper plates only. The plates will never be the limitation for bar loading.

Other than the fact that the paint came off onto the barbell; these plates are amazing. Thin and can load up a bunch of weight. I almost peeled off the sticker that holds the calibrated weight because I didn’t know what it was so just be mindful of that.

Let me start by saying I love Rogue products. Love them. I have the urethane bumper plates, change plates, four different bars, monster lite rack, matador, landmine, etc etc. everything is top notch, built for a lifetime, worth every penny. Except for these. After getting the 15lb loadable dumbbells (which are awesome), I went with the white steel 10 lbs plates because they were thinner than the other white change plates, which I thought would help with how many I could load on each dumbbell. And that part was accurate. What I wasn’t prepared for was how much and how often the paint will chip off. And it’s often and everywhere. Everywhere. Little white paint chips from loading and unloading the plates from the storage pins, onto the bar, and back again. And that happens pretty much nonstop. First thing from rogue I’ve bought where I felt like the quality didn’t match the name. Should have stuck with the white rubber coated change plates that are way more durable. If they’re going to be painted, it should be built to last just like everything else that comes with such a name as Rogue.

Was excited to order these plates last week. I waited to purchase for a while since unemployed and decided to pull the trigger on a pair 55 lb's. Plates delivered a couple days ago and was quite excited to open. Alas, one of the plates arrived damaged. It's more than surface paint as my finger nail catches in the groove. Not sure if it'll rust as a result. Something minor is the white paint has dots over the wording like someone took a toothpick and sporadically poked the paint while it wasn't dry, seems to be a QC issue happening. I'm unable to add the pics for some reason, get denied permission error.

Just got a full rogue setup in my garage and am pretty pumped. Everything I’ve ordered and received has been insanely good quality. Was pretty excited to get the 25kg calibrated plates but was pretty disappointed to find that they were damaged before I even opened them. They are still usable obviously, but for how expensive these plates are, and the fact that rogue doesn’t offer free shipping, it sucks to receive damaged goods. I’d give 5 stars otherwise.

Plates are superb and the weight is on point. 4 stars because two of my plates came damaged and still waiting for rogue to reply to my emails on the issue, for the price I shouldn’t have to hassle over this. Besides that plates are a must have for your gym.

I bought these so I could increase weight in 1 lb increments instead of 5 lb. They accomplish that job well, of course. Rogue rocks!

Ordered these while they had the $5 shipping deal going on, so I saved a good amount of money on shipping costs. Was extremely excited when I made the order. Was looking to get rid of my Deep Dish Rogues and Strength Co plates and replace them with these bad boys. Took me a while to get around to opening the packages since I was in the process of upgrading my garage gym. When I did, I was pretty disappointed to see that several of the 45s were dinged up or had sloppy paintwork. The rest of the plates looked great (2.5s, 5s, 10s, 25s). The defects aren't going to interfere with usability but it's certainly an eyesore for plates that do cost this much money and are supposed to be "new". Overall they are great plates & great looking plates - except for the ones I received that should've never passed quality control inspection. I would recommend these plates if you refuse to convert to KG (like me =P) but just pray that you receive a good batch!
