Rank #4 in Best Olympic Weight Plates 2026: 10 Sets Ranked, and Why the KG Label Misleads
HOMCOM 2 x 2.5kg and 2 x 5kg Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plates
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HOMCOM 2 x 2.5/5/10kg Cast Iron Olympic Weight Plates Tri-Grip takes #4 in our weight plates guide at £31.99, with 4.8 out of 5 from 87 ratings. It is the exception to the pattern that runs through the rest of that guide: on this listing, the Item Weight field does agree with the plates described. The set bullet lists 2 x 2.5kg and 2 x 5kg, which is 15kg of plates, and the Item Weight field reads 15 kg.
What does not agree is almost everything else on the same page. The product title advertises "2 x 2.5/5/10kg", but no 10kg plate appears in the contents or the dimensions list. The Number of Items field says 2, while the bullet describes a four-piece set. The Material field says Alloy Steel, the title says cast iron, and the bullet describes an enamel-coated steel body. Even the rating count is split: the header shows 87 ratings, but the star breakdown adds up to 100. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as we found it — we have not handled, weighed or tested the plates ourselves.

Questions people ask
What exactly is in the HOMCOM A91-135 set?
The bullet describes a four-piece set: 2 x 2.5kg plates and 2 x 5kg plates, totalling 15kg. No 10kg plate is listed in the contents or the dimensions.
How much does the set weigh in total?
15kg. That is what the bullet's own addition of 2 x 2.5kg plus 2 x 5kg gives, and it is what the Item Weight field states. The two figures match here.
What bar do these plates fit?
The centre hole is listed as Φ5.4cm and the bullet says the plates are compatible with Φ5cm barbell bars. The Item Highlight field describes them as being for a 2" weight bar, and the title calls them Olympic.
What are the plates made of?
Three different answers appear on the listing: the title says cast iron, the Material field says Alloy Steel, and the bullet describes a steel body with an enamel coating to protect against mild rust and corrosion.
Does the set include 10kg plates?
The title reads "2 x 2.5/5/10kg", but the set bullet only lists 2 x 2.5kg and 2 x 5kg, and the dimensions are given only for a 2.5kg plate (Φ19 x 2.5Dcm) and a 5kg plate (Φ23 x 3Dcm). No 10kg plate is itemised.
How many items does the listing say you get?
The Number of Items field says 2, while the bullet describes four plates (2 x 2.5kg and 2 x 5kg). Those two figures do not agree.
