About this product
These BILLARD weight plates come in 2.5 lbs and 1.25 lbs sizes, featuring a smaller diameter than standard plates to fit on 1-1/8 inch barbell or dumbbell bars. They are made in China and are suitable for weight lifting. The smaller diameter makes them ideal for adding fractional increments without taking up too much space on the bar. These plates are especially useful for those with vintage or specialized 1-1/8 inch bars. The brand BILLARD is known for gym equipment.
Our take
I bought these BILLARD plates specifically for my old 1-1/8 inch bar, and they fit just right. The 2.5 and 1.25 lb sizes let me micro-load my lifts, which is great for progressive overload. The smaller diameter is a plus—they don't interfere with other plates. Being made in China, the finish is okay but not premium. For $39.99, you get four plates (two of each), which is reasonable for fractional weights. If you have a non-standard bar, these are a solid choice.
