Wheels for road riding

Hi, Looking for some new wheels!
I've got a 2007 Giant XTC 3.5 with Formula hubs and Alex DP17 rims. Front weighs 1.98kg, rear 2.62kg.
I'm not unhappy with the wheels I've got, but much of my riding, especially in winter is on the road (commuting) so I'd like something a bit lighter and ideally with less than 32 spokes as I think that looks good!
If people could offer suggestions I'd be grateful. Looking to spend around £200...
Ta!

Just buy some narrow slicks and tubes.
as tyres, tubes and discs will eat up half your budget if not more.

Sorry, should have been clearer...
I've already got some Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tyres and plenty of spare tubes so no need to worry about them!
I'll probably just switch the casette accross as thats pretty quick job.
Happy to pay £200ish for the wheels and extra for rotors.
