The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Signature BF-VNL comes as a 2-piece set of black vinyl-coated 10 lb plates priced at $19.99. Vinyl coating is a step up from bare cast iron in terms of floor protection and corrosion resistance, without the premium cost of rubber.
With 2,400 reviews and a 4.4-star average, this is one of the more reviewed plate options in this price range. The consistent buyer volume of 100 per month signals ongoing satisfaction rather than a single burst of sales.
Vinyl plates can crack over time if dropped from height, so these are best used for controlled lifts rather than aggressive drops. Gymso is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases.

Frequently asked questions
What is the center hole size?
The product data does not specify the bore size. Verify on the product page whether this fits a standard or Olympic bar before purchasing.
Can I use these for deadlifts and drops?
Vinyl can crack with repeated drops. These are better suited to controlled lifts. For regular dropping, rubber-coated bumper plates are a safer choice.
