HX wheels or 14" steels?

So I have my stock 14" steels, I want some wheels for auto-x and my question is. Besides the looks and the 3 extra lbs. Is there any reason that HX wheels would be better than steels??
HX = 14x6.5 ?
Steel = same?
Am I wrong?
Just brainstorming on this...

I would suggest the HXs...just because they are lighter, and have less mass to move!
