Lifters who want a graduated set of plate sizes, from 2.5 up to 25 pounds, rather than uniform plates, so they can load a bar in flexible combinations for different lifts and warm-up weights.
Skip if
Skip it if you need more than 85 pounds total or prefer buying plates in perfectly matched pairs at every increment, since the 7-piece count suggests the set isn't a simple even number of matched pairs.

Overview
A lifter who wants flexibility more than raw weight usually looks for a graduated plate set rather than a stack of identical plates. The XDDIAS 1001 Weight Plates set fits that need, combining pairs of 2.5, 5, 10 and 25-pound rubber plates into a listed 85 pounds total across 7 pieces, priced at $159.99.
That price sits close to the Gikpal W01-85 set at $169.99, which also delivers 85 pounds in rubber, though the Gikpal comes in 8 pieces rather than 7. The two are near-identical in price and total weight, so the decision between them likely comes down to plate size breakdown and brand review history rather than cost.
On reviews, the XDDIAS set holds a 4.5-star average across 322 reviews, matching the Gikpal's 4.5-star score but with fewer total reviews than the Gikpal's 454. Both show 50-plus units bought last month, indicating the two sets see comparable ongoing demand. For a buyer choosing between them, the XDDIAS's wider range of individual plate sizes, from 2.5 up to 25 pounds, may offer more loading flexibility than a set built around fewer, larger plates.
Pros
- 85 pounds of rubber plate across a graduated range from 2.5 to 25 pounds gives flexible loading options
- 4.5-star average across 322 reviews matches the top rating in this plate comparison
- 50-plus bought last month shows steady, active demand
- Priced at $159.99, slightly below the similarly-sized 85-pound Gikpal set at $169.99
- Rubber build should be quieter and gentler on flooring than iron plates
Cons
- 7 pieces is an odd count for pairs across 4 different sizes, which may mean the set isn't perfectly matched on both sides
- 322 reviews is fewer than the 454 behind the competing Gikpal W01-85 set
- No listed dimensions make it hard to confirm sleeve fit ahead of purchase
- At $159.99, it costs far more than the small fractional EVERYMATE options for lifters who only need minor adjustments

Performance notes
The listed breakdown is a pair each of 2.5, 5, 10 and 25-pound rubber plates, adding up to 85 pounds, though the 7-piece count doesn't divide evenly into 4 matched pairs, so buyers should check the exact plate breakdown on the product listing before assuming full symmetry. A graduated set like this is generally more useful for varied training than a uniform stack, since it lets a lifter combine plates to hit a wide range of target weights rather than being locked into fixed jumps. Rubber as the build material means the plates will likely be bulkier per pound than iron, which matters mostly for how much total plate a bar sleeve can hold once several sizes are stacked together. There's no listed diameter, so stacking height on a full bar isn't confirmed by the spec sheet.
What buyers say
A 4.5-star average across 322 reviews puts the XDDIAS 1001 set right in line with the Gikpal W01-85, which also holds 4.5 stars, though the Gikpal has a larger review base at 454. Both products show 50-plus units bought last month, suggesting comparable ongoing popularity between the two similarly priced 85-pound rubber sets. Against the smaller-volume alternatives in this comparison, like the Body-Solid Cast Iron Olympic set at 78 reviews, the XDDIAS shows a healthier combination of review volume and current demand, pointing to a plate set that a meaningful number of recent buyers have chosen and rated well.

The listing describes pairs of 2.5, 5, 10 and 25-pound rubber plates, adding up to 85 pounds total across 7 listed pieces. That range lets a lifter combine sizes for different target weights rather than being stuck with one fixed increment.
How does the XDDIAS 1001 compare to the Gikpal W01-85?
Both are 85-pound rubber sets with a 4.5-star rating and 50-plus recent buyers. The XDDIAS costs $159.99 versus $169.99 for the Gikpal, though the Gikpal has more total reviews at 454 versus 322 for the XDDIAS, giving it a slightly longer track record.
Is 7 pieces enough for a balanced 85-pound set?
The listing describes pairs across 4 sizes, which would normally total 8 pieces, so the 7-piece count is worth confirming on the product page before ordering if perfectly matched pairs on both sides of the bar matter for your setup.
