Why not go with 14" lightweight rims? There are some manufacturers of forged rims that would fit your civic that have weights nearly half of my steelies. For me the price was the deterrant, but I don't know your finances. The rims can go for around $1,000 for 4, so that may help your decision (it did mine for sure).

Also, I will try to find the wheel weight spreadsheet that I saw so you can compare.

Might you be thinking of Wheelweights.net?
A good quality 14" alloy can come in around 10lbs or less. Steel wheels by comparison would be like walking with cinder blocks tied to your feet.
If I ever do buy wheels for my car, I'll probably get a set or Rota J-Mags, because they weigh 12lbs @ 15", and look decent. I know my steelies are closer to 20lbs.
