I purchased the 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2.5lb plates to use as change plates for my bumpers. Pairing these with the magnetic aluminum collars is something I wish more people talked about before I discovered it. They really just stick to the outside of the collar for the entire lift without dragging on the sleeve. These plates are beautiful out of the box and my only complaint is that the 5lb doesn’t also come I the polished finish to complete the full set of what I would consider change plates. My old Weiders look like they’ve seen better days by comparison. Easily the most I’ve spent per pound for plates but absolutely worth it.

I replaced the plates that I purchased during the pandemic with the Rogue calibrated steel plates. I wanted to purchase these plates first but the sticker cost was too much. Gradually I’ve been replacing my pandemic gym equipment with Rogue. There was no damage when the plates arrived. Some of the paint will come off when placing it on the bar but its minimum. I love the colors and wouldn’t of expected anything less from Rogue.

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.
