Should I go with the factory civic VX 13" wheels
or
The factory 14" Hx wheels
or
a set of aftermarket lightweight wheels?

Hrm...
Well... I'm running HX rims with Pirelli tires on my ride, and I L-O-V-E THEM!!!
LoL!
So does everyone else:
Honda-Tech.com: Wheel and Tire: Pic Request: HX Wheels (Painted)
This HX wheel thread has been active for over 3 years - 72 pages of comments, and growing daily!
VX rims are 2 lbs lighter, give-or-take, but they have fitment problems on most cars, so their resell value is nil - plus, you will be severely limited in your choice of tires.
My HX/Pirelli combo is 24 lbs per wheel (yes, I've weighed them). To put this in perspective, a HX wheel weighs about the same as the OEM emergency spare 'circus tire'. Put another way, 4 HX wheels will weigh about the same as 4 emergency spare tires - that's how light they are!
Do I have to tell you what my recommendation is?!?!?
