I am looking for a source of head plates or wheel heads such as found on sanding disk or the working part of a potter's wheel- I can't believe the $90.00 (!) price tage when you but two 12 dia lifting weights for $ 5. Anyone have any suggestions as to low cost sources?
Thank You

This being R.C.M., it's curious that you find the $87.50 price difference between a crappy sand-casting of random scrap metal and a precision piece of machined metal unbelieveable.
But there's no doubt hope for you in the form of a shop in China that turns out warped, out of round platters with wrong-size holes from random scrap metal, and sells them to suckers as being sanding disks and pottery wheel heads. No doubt they will send you an email shortly, and you'll get exactly what you pay for.

Actually you may have leapt too soon. I think the guy's after alternative weights for barbells? I think that's what his price gripe is about and I tend to agree. They are just scrappy pieces of random steel, for all of me. I assume that in competition you need to have them exact. However.

Nuh! I re-read his post, and it looks as if you were right, and I agree with you. Sorry.
