Default Cheapest AND Lightest 14" old/new rims for Honda

Look does not matter. I'm searching for the cheapest AND lightest rims for my cRx. If my 15" Mazda Millenia rims only weight 11.5 pounds, I figure a 10 pounds 14" rim or lighter must exist. Please respond if you know. Thanks.
Ps: Even if they have to be steel rims, so be it.

There are some light 14" OEM Me-otter wheels

Most (if not all) will need to be bored out for them to fit Honda hubs. I run the '90 - '93 7 spoke alloy on my Civic.

Also look into the Civic HX wheels they weigh under 12lbs.

don't overlook civic vx wheels too...they are 8-9lbs each and smaller diameter helps with acceleration (but it depends on the car and brakes as 13"s won't fit larger brakes)

Thanks for the inputs guys. I think I'll go with the VX rims if not HX. Cheap tires, direct fit and easy to manage
