Weight of stock rims.....thinking about Rota rims

Hi,
I have been trying to search for it but I can't find it.

I would like to know the weight of stock rims for Civic 2001 and up.

- 14" steel rims weight?
- 15" steel rims weight?
- 15" alloy rims weight?

I was thinking of getting Rota Slipstream 15x6.5 which weigh only 11.9pounds or Rota Slipstream 16x7 which weigh 14.5pounds, or maybe Rota Sub-Zero 17x7.5 which weigh 16.5pounds.

Since Civics are not that powerful cars, any weight reduction should be noticable in performance. Am I right?

Does anybody have any of those rims on their Civic? If yes, specify your rims size, tire sizes and tell me if you felt any performance change with these lightweight rims.

Thanks.
