    Here's the link to the thread for pics and contact info.

    Just trying to save you money, pal. There's not too much diy involved when you buy a few washers, but if you want something that says Rogue or looks cool, then I guess they're not for you.

    I finally got around to buying a set of 4, 2" inner diameter washers from Fastenal, and every one of them is EXACTLY 0.625lbs, making each set of 2 exactly 1.25lbs. I was shocked at how precise they are. I used a couple of different scales, including an analog and a digital and each plate got the same exact reading each time.

    I wish I had seen the custom plates by Dan Miller sooner. I'm happy with my Fastenal washer-plates, but I'm going to buy some from Dan to keep at my home gym and for my wife to use. The Fastenals will be out into my gym bag for when I am away from home.

    Another option is CFF, there fractional set is also $50 but the shipping is free to save a couple more bucks.
