Lightest weight 14" OEM Honda wheel?

Looking for weighs to improve gas mileage. What's the lightest weight factory Honda 14" wheel? Also what about wheels like on the insight that are nearly solid, I understand that to be to reduce drag / better aero?

other things I'm thinking about doing would be to go to a more narrow tire with a really high tread rating. Thoughts? Obviously it will reduce traction so that's a captain obvious statements about longer braking distances etc. Need not be made, factory is 185 wide tires I'm not looking to take it to an extreme but maybe a lighter or more aerodynamic wheel with a 175 wide tire of the same diameter as the factory would yield better mileage without any dramatic negitives?
