Default help me choose light wheels

well I posted that I was buying a set of HX wheels here - https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_103131/tm.htm

but as so often happens, the guy backed out on the deal. Probably just as well, the money may be better spent on other things. However I would like to hear some recommendations for some nice-looking lightweight wheels for future reference. 14" would be cheaper for me since I already have 14" tires, but I'm open to suggestions [sm=burnout.gif]

^^^^

If you are looking for 14" wheels that are light, if you can find a Rota wheel in 14" then I would do that, because they are a solid wheel for inexpensive. But you can have your pick at some Volks as well. Good Luck!

a quick search reveals no 14" wheels from any of the suggested names. I like the Rota Slipstreams but again, they're only 15" and up.
