Default Lightweight Stock Wheels?

Ok, before anyone say's why does everyone want stock OEM wheels I don't want to spend too much money. I was wondering if anyone know's of a relatively lightweight wheel. I don't care if it comes from Honda, Acura, Mazda, Toyota, whatever I don't care, I need the Lug Pattern for a Hatchback (4x100) and preferrably 15in or bigger. Sorry if this is a pointless thread but I've searched on Ebay, on Google, on H-tech and I figured you guy's might now. Thanks for the input

none bigger than 15 inch. Want factory/light/quality/looks, then go for some HX wheels. Then there's the GSR/LS's and Type R's. Nothing bigger than 15's though.
HX's are 14 inches, VX are 13. HX's weigh like 10 pounds and VX's like 9

I'm puttin in GSR Brakes and read that you can't fit them under anything smaller than a 15 in. wheel. I got excited cause a buddy of mine said that he saw that you can throw on Mazda 929's but they are the ITR Lug Pattern not mine. He said that they apparently weigh about 11 pounds of so. Thought that was crazy, tryin to find somethin like that. Once again, thanks for the input.

I think HXs are 11.75 and the VXs are 9lbs. I remember weighing my vx rims w/tires....it was 22lbs.

Miata wheels are pretty light. Especially the BBS wheels off one or two years of the sport package or M edition or something.

But, everyone knows about those wheels, and you won't get them cheap.

I believe that in the 15 inch size the integra GSR wheels from 1996 (6 spokes) are the lightest of the OEM ones. Although I have not weighed the ones from the 2002 Si.

the 2002 SI's have the same bolt pattern? Those wouldn't be that bad... I'll have to check them out.

WRONG. the 1994-2001 Integra GSR and LS/RS/SE all have the same size brakes, front and rear. You can indeed fit 14" wheels over these brakes, and if you order correctly, you can buy 13" wheels to fit as well, as some autocrossers even run 13x8 wheels over Integra brakes. Of course you are asking about oem honda wheels, and I am 99% sure the 14" wheels shown above in pics will fit.

Touché So 14in wheels are good? How do they make the 13's fit, do they use spacers? Thanks for clarifying.
