While i'm on the subject of tyres, I've decided to use the original rims for the winter tyres and to get new rims for the sticky stuff so what rims does anyone rate lightweight if poss?

the 240R style 5 spokes are what you want...not cheap, but lighter. Im afraid there are not many aftermarket suppliers of wheels for the S2 Elise/Exige

There's some info here, not sure how up to date it is but gives weights:
http://wiki.seloc.org/a/S2_Wheel_Options#Toyota (Bogie beat me to it!!)

There's also the Team Dynamics Pro race series - 1.2 (cast not lightweight which I got through Demon Tweeks), there's apparently also a 1.4G lightweight forged option if you have the budget:
