Looking for 45lb Body Solid Olympic Rubber Grip Plates

[justinluck]

I am interested in purchasing an additional pair of 45lb Body Solid Rubber Grip Plates to go with my 255lb set. I've been searching Google and the only place I can find these plates are at www.fitnessfactory.com. With shipping, they come out to almost $200. If I buy them from this same company, through Amazon, the shipping is a bit less and the total is $181. This still seems quite high for two 45lb plates. Does anyone know of another store that can offer a better deal?

i don't know any deals on body solid plates, but there is a recent thread about VTX olympic grip plates. $40 per 45lber with only $8 shipping. The 45lb CAPs are $32.

Wow, those prices sure are tempting. But I would like to stick with the Body Solid brand. It's a bummer the $57 VTX rubber coated plates are rubber on the inner ring as well. Otherwise I might have bit.
