Real Bumper Plates

Bennett Morris · 04-09-2010, 10:05 AM

What are some brand names or websites for reasonably affordable, but real bumper plates? I don't want to buy a pair online and get a cheap rubber coating over a metal plate.

Is where I just bought mine. I started with the SoCal econ package but upgraded to the Rogue multi-purpose bar. Very happy with the weights, I just wish 155 pounds wasn't so heavy.

Cheapest
www.wrightexercise.com (Wright)
www.roguefitness.com (Hi-Temp)
www.muscledriverusa.com (Pendlay Economy)

Others
www.againfaster.com (sells Hi-Temps as well)
www.christiansfitnessfactory.com (sells Wrights, Troy, and others)
www.garagegymstore.com (Garage Gym and Hi-Temps)

If money is your concern, my personal recommendation is Wright. Call Jason directly, he's a great guy. I have yet to find a cheaper set of bumpers anywhere and I love my Wright bumpers.

I have Wright Bumpers and I love them. I think you can buy the ones from Muscle Driver for a little cheaper when you include shipping; Well if you like in CA. A friend of mine has the Econs from Muscle Driver and is really happy with them.

For the price you can't go wrong with either company.

All of the vendors mentioned above are excellent. Check Werksan as well.

You can also check out the rubber man at rubberman.com (WFS?) I bought a set of kraiburgs from Alf that I really love, though they might be a bit more expensive that wright or some of the others.

I vote for Wright as well. Good quality and good communication/customer service.
I've also purchased bars and other equipment from Rogue. Again, good quality, excellent communication and customer service.

I placed my first order with the Garage Gym back in February for 2 med balls. I am still waiting and very poor communication and customer service. I was told they were shipped and I asked for tracking info to no avail.

+1 for Christian's Fitness Factory. Best prices I've found anywhere and great customer care.

Vote for Rogue.

Affordable and most importantly they are manufactured domestically (as are lots of their other products).
