It would really be bad marketing if it were a longer arm. That would be shameful and ridiculous to try to pull off. Naw, i thought the same, but it is just how the photo looks. The ISF wheel looks lighter anyways!

Just measure the pixel length in the picture and you'll find it's the same (well when I did it, the AMG side was actually longer, but write it off to human error and imperfections in the image).
