The best factory wheels?

I'm getting tired of my thugged out chrome rims that came on my car. I want to get some lighter factory wheels and paint them black to go with my black hatch (stealth mode rules). What would be the best wheels to get? Also I want them so that I can lower my car 2-3".

Yeah HX all the way.. (not just saying that because I have them...) they look great but still keep a stock look to your car... plus they are so light.....

I got the hx wheels because they were only 50 bucks and they are realy light. If you are going for light, go with hx or vx like everyone else said. If you want good looking stock wheles go with the si's or the fat five gsr wheels.
