17" S-Lite weight

Does anybody know why they call these wheel S-Lite?
How much do they really weight?
Are they really light?
How much is difference in weight between the S-lites and others examples of 17" x 7" let's say OZ's?

All answers for OEM wheels can be found here:

One note - the R95 has been weighed at 22lbs and reportedly the newer runflats are a little lighter. Otherwise the info there should be pretty correct.

WOW!!!!!!!!! you're right, there is a lot of information.
I learned that the S-Lites 17x7.5 weight around 22# and the lightest 17x17.5 wheel out there weights about half (11#) = big difference when talking sprung weight and traction at speed.
Thanks.

Did I misread or misunderstand? That link states that S-Lites are 17x7 and 25 lbs.
