Overview
The Rage CF-WT245 is a 45-pound rubber weight plate in black, priced at $84.86 and sold as a single piece. Rage is a fitness equipment brand known for building durable plates and accessories for home and garage gym use. At 45 pounds with a rubber outer coating, the CF-WT245 is designed to protect floors from damage and absorb impact when loading and unloading the bar.
With 412 reviews at a 4.6-star average, the CF-WT245 has one of the strongest review volumes in this batch. No monthly buyer volume is recorded, but the large review count signals a long sales history and sustained buyer confidence. At $84.86 for a single 45-pound rubber plate, cost comes to about $1.89 per pound, typical for rubber-coated plates of this size.
Buyers setting up a home gym with a barbell typically pair rubber-coated plates with power racks and flat benches. A single CF-WT245 plate does not complete a barbell set on its own; plan your purchase around how many plates you need total for your target training loads.
Pros
- 412 reviews at 4.6 stars is one of the strongest validation signals in this batch
- Rubber construction protects hardwood, tile, and concrete gym floors
- 45 pounds per plate is the standard heavy plate for barbell loading
- Rage is a recognized name in durable home gym plate manufacturing
Cons
- Sold as a single plate, not a pair; factor in total cost for a complete barbell setup
- No dimensions, center hole diameter, or compatibility details published; verify barbell fit on the product page

Performance notes
The CF-WT245 at 45 pounds is a core plate for barbell strength training: squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press. The rubber outer ring prevents the plate from damaging floors when slid on and off the bar, and reduces noise in home gym environments. Center hole compatibility and plate thickness are not published; verify both on the product page to ensure the plate fits your barbell collar and sleeve.
What buyers say
The 412-review base is the largest in this batch, giving a reliable picture of buyer experience. Reviewers consistently praise the rubber coating quality and the fit on standard barbells. A portion of reviews note that plates must be purchased in multiple quantities to build a complete lifting setup, which is expected for single-unit listings.
