You might also want to try contacting ForcedFed (click on 'User CP' at the top, then 'send new message'), I think they've been working on getting some wheels for the Elise so might have some input as well. If Sector111's website isn't working for you (I tried just now and just get the splash page, can't click to anywhere), contact Shinoo via the same method.

Edit: Looks like Sector111's website works if you don't include the www: http://sector111.com/

well from what i read

Wheels will be offered in the following sizes:7"x16" & 8"x17" These sizes are .5" wider than the stock Sport wheels. Track testing has convinced to us that a wider wheel will improve the A048 tire performance. Expected weight: 12lbs front & 14 lbs rear


guess thats the biggest
