Default VX wheels vs. Steelies

I always wanted HX wheels however i live in Canada and they are next to impossible to find therefore i might settle for VX, i might sacrifice my looks but at the least i will shave off a couple of pounds. My question is how much do stock 13inch DX steelies weight? i know the VX are 9lbs, HX 11.8 and i have heard that steelies are 18lbs, but is that 13, 14, or 15 inch steelies. thanks

Do a search here, you will find plenty of HX rims

I have bought 10 of them so far...

4 were on my old 95 Coupe
I got 2 more for BFG Drag radials
and I now have a set on my 94 Hatch.
