also own some G2 plates here, great plates, not too bouncy, and not really thick, solid metal cores, not pressin plates
i have one that was a bit iffy quality wise, its replacement is still wrapped up
the rubber does smell for quite a while once opened
i bought 6 x 20kg , and 2 x 10kg
nearly got the hercules bumpers, but the G2 were cheaper at the time
ABC bumpers are heaps better quality, and finish, but you will pay for it...

I just measured my 20kg Hercules bumbers. They're 51mm.

Also for those with bumpers, how durable are they?
I'm hesitant to go totally bumpers as I'm pretty sure they wouldn't last as long as steel.
I drop mine form shoulder height when doing OHP and they're fine. They're designed so they can be dropped from height so I highly doubt you'd break one unless it was extremely cheap quality.
Most of the time what happens is the centre pops out, if something goes wrong with them.
At the club I used to lift at they had a few plates where the centre had come loose but none had really popped out and they were years old, were used multiple times a day 6-7 times a week.
Thats why its important to get bumpers with a solid insert and not just a ring pressed in, the rings usually pop out easier than the solid inserts do.
They were all used on lifting platforms though, using on plain concrete will decrease life of the bumpers.

Sweet, mine will be used on a platform and mainly only by me so they should be good for a long time.
