I've seen more than just that figure posted here, in one thread people stated 26 pounds, which I know is BS. Who has weighed them? I wonder because you stated "~22", instead of something like "21.9" or "22-1/4" pounds. I just wish someone would provide a definitive answer, because it is so important, when trying to determine the best bang for the buck in lighter weight wheels.

I got my Enkeis for 73 dollars a pop from discount tires direct. 17x7 and 15lbs.. it was on clearance, hell of a deal. oh ya free shipping

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

Looking at this thread leads me to believe they're only around 19 pounds, which is a BIG difference, compared to 22.

And regarding the definition of "~", no s|-|1t, sherlock!

Ouch, 21 lbs? Edgeracing says the 5zigen Fn01r-c's in 17X7 are 16.5 lbs each (Or are they only referring to the smallest size, the 15"?)

DuMa

i have an even deeper lug pocket because of my 17x8 +32. its pretty deep and can be annoying when ur taking off the wheel/tire. you have to be careful not to knick it with your socket/lug key.

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

Rotas.

FYI, we post wheel weights on our site!

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.

ashiva

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

RogerTTR

We publish wheel weights at tirerack.com.

Nobody mentions Centerline wheels because its a domestic brand that mostly caters to trucks.

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.

noservice2001

caters to trucks? what state are you in? i have RPMs on my xB.... they're forged, strong, cheap and effin' light... my 19s are lighter than stockies.... that's right 19s!!!! anyway, i used that website... http://www.wheelweights.net/ and that's how i heard about them.....

rota's or black racing are awsome rims. very light indeed

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.
