No, I also recall someone mentioning recently that the 2005/2006 S-Lites were a couple pounds lighter than the '02-'04s. That the rear of the spokes had been hollowed out slightly, and that they had a different manufacturing number somewhere on them. ??? Can anyone confirm this? Just wishful thinking?

Two different castings for the S-lyte but the weight was the same.

All of the Promo Lit and ads that I collected from 2002 to 2003 when I finally bought MSC said that S-Lites were 17x7.5. But just yesterday I argued with Alex of Tire Rack that my wheels are 17x7.5 NOT 17x7. And now this, so I did verify my old MINI promo lit and it does say 17x7.5 and so does the 2003 accessories catolog. Keep in mind, this lit is from 2002 and 2003. I also checked 2005 lit and it says S-Lites are 17x7???WTF!!!! Also, at AMVIV I was checking out how 215/40-17 Falkens would look on MC40 wheels which I knew were 17x7 they did look "donuty" but I ran across S-Lites that also looked "donuty" I compared them to mine and mine seemed to fill out more??
But I don't know whats going on.

That's probably just the differences in how different tires fit the same wheel. The sizes aren't exact, so some will be wider or narrower than others.
