Rank #3 in Best Olympic Weight Plates 2026: 10 Sets Ranked, and Why the KG Label Misleads
FK Sports Olympic Tri-Grip Weight Plates, Rubber-Coated Cast Iron
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
FK Sports' Olympic weight plates are cast iron with a rubber finish, a tri-grip shape with three cut-out handles, and a 2 inch (50 mm) opening that the listing says fits Olympic barbells, EZ curl bars, tricep bars and weight machines. They sit third in this guide at £46.99, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 91 reviews.
The number to check on this one is the number the listing does not agree with itself on. The colour field names the "C) 2 X 10KG" option — two 10 kg plates — while the Item Weight field reads 10 kg. Number of Items reads 1, against a Unit Count of 2.0 count and a bullet stating each plate is sold in pairs. The title lists pairs at 2.5 kg, 5 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg and 25 kg, and the bullets then add 10 kg to that list. One buyer says they weighed their set and found the 2.5 kg plates at 2.3 kg, the 5 kg at 4.7 kg and the 10 kg at 9.2 kg. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and from buyer reviews, not from any testing we have carried out.
How those 91 ratings break down

Do the weight figures on the listing add up?
The Item Weight field reads 10 kg and the colour field names a 2 x 10 kg option, so the two fields are describing different amounts. Add up the plates you are ordering before you buy.
