It's cheaper for xA's.... smaller wheels and 4-lugs are cheaper and more common.
I stated ~22 pounds because it's the weight I've seen/heard posted the most. The ~ means give or take a bit

I'll stick with my 17x8 ATech Finalspeed Erasers. 17.5lbs each. Which doesn't mean much, considering that the 245/40 rubber on it weighs 23lbs.

I love how deep the lug pocket is..I guess thats what a +35 offset gets you
a good tip would be to do what i did. i put duct tape all around my socket and my lug keys so i wouldnt scratch the inside of that pocket everytime i needed to take off my wheel

Yeah, but you need to make wider search options so we can see wheels beyond what is "recommended". There should be a way to search OZ for example and see the weights for all sizes...not just by application search. That would be a great feature that would be appreciated by a lot of users IMO.

i've been doing the same search for the past week or so and think i'm going to end up saving and getting quality...
in your price range i was also seriously considering the kz-s which are around 18lb

*edit: fine i wont be lazy: 18.6 for kazera kzs
17.4 for oz ultraleggera

I would get the RPMs.
I have a set on my Civic...17" at 13.x lbs each.
And they are only around $150 a rim.
www.wheelweights.net is a giant list.

To broaden your search, the Subaru Impreza (95-2006 non Sti) uses a 5x100 with +48 to +53 offest. Many of the Rota, OZ, etc. rims for the Subaru I think will fit the Scion, but I would call and verify. I believe the center bore diameter on the Scion is a bit smaller than the Subaru (at least that is what I experienced, I have Subaru 16" steels from a WRX on my car now for winter).
I'd also be surprised if the stock scion rims are more than 18-19 lbs. I find many of the stock manufactured rims are typically fairly light weight, and durable. I know the Subaru rims were not heavy, and very strong, so buying after market many folks put on heavier rims/tires.
I believe if you contact Kosi, they can make a K1 with any bolt pattern/offset you want, it will just be expensive. If you get Grassroots Motorsports, the tirerack ads in that magazine show many competition/lightweight wheel options.
