Overview
The JFIT 20-6650-pr is a 2-piece set of cast iron grip plates priced at $9.99. At 5 pounds per the listed item weight and a grip-style finish, these are designed to be easy to handle and stack on a standard bar.
With over 1,000 buyers in a single month and a 4.7-star rating across 777 reviews, the demand signal is unusually strong for a sub-$10 plate. The grip cutouts help with loading and unloading even when plates are stacked tight.
These are bare cast iron, so they will oxidize over time if stored in a humid garage. A light wipe-down with oil after heavy use will extend the finish. Gymso is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases.

Performance notes
Cast iron grip plates are a staple in home gyms. The grip-style design on the 20-6650-pr reduces the awkward pinch-grip needed to load standard smooth-edge plates. At 5 lbs and priced under $10, these work well as micro-increment add-ons alongside heavier plates.
What buyers say
Buyers consistently praise the value. The 4.7-star average from 777 reviews and over 1,000 monthly purchases suggest most home gym owners find these exactly what they expect: solid, usable cast iron at a competitive price.

Frequently asked questions
Are these Olympic or standard plates?
The hole size is not specified in the product data, so verify the center bore on the product page before ordering.
Will they rust?
Cast iron without a rubber or vinyl coating can oxidize in humid conditions. A light coat of oil and dry storage will help preserve them.
