I'm not sure why you're looking for those. Normally, people who want lighter-weight rims do so because they want better performance. However, very few of the highest performance tires are available in 14" sizes. If you're looking for better performance, you would be much better off getting 15" wheels, for which you can get some of the stickiest street tires around, such as the Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 and Toyo R1R, both available in the 195/50-15 size for older (pre-'96) Civics that came with smaller wheels.

Lenso is what you're looking for. They are great drag wheels. If its a street car go with at least a 15. Enkei RPF-1s are decently priced and very, very light. Rota slips are very light too, and dirt cheap. If you've got money to burn volk ce28s and te37s are among the lightest wheels you can buy, short of magnesium
