Me and dad changed the front brakes on my mums Au and sisters Ba and was going to throw the rotors away...but realizing their weight, thought i might use them as weights for bench press.
Just an idea  |

i reckon there would be a few more forum dudes that could donate some more falcon barbell weights if you want them.
EDIT: you could throw on some harmonic balancers as well  .

We used brake rotors for shed decorations! Weld stuff to them, write stuff on them and hang them up. Goes well with the smashed windows

The good thing about it is that whenever you need more weight, the local wrecker would give them basically for free...they weigh about 8 or 9kg by feel (haven't weighed them). Went to Rebel sport and a 10kg weight plate was $32!
