Right. You can use ring adapters to use a larger-bore wheel but not smaller.

15" Acura Integra GSR (94-95, 16lbs)
Other size specs: Offset 35-45; bolt patter 4X100; lug size 12mmX1.5; hub center bore 56.1mm.

Popular wheels for the Fit, that would mostly work for you as well. Note that my minimum diameter is now 15" instead of your 13/14.
Enkei RP-F1 (15" = 9.5 lb) $225 @ tirerack
Kosei K4R (15" = 10.7 lb) $144 @ tirerack
Konig Helium (15" = 11.2 lb) $89 @ discount tire, $88 @ good-win-racing.com (source for weight)
Helium is where I'd go today, and I'm sorely tempted. My stock 16" rims are a decent 17 lb, but this would be a big reduction.
