I'm willing to believe the IS-F's BBS are lighter, but I swear.... the arm on the AMG side looks longer...leverage ftw..... creative marketing much?

Default The forged BBS in gunmetal..

were about 10 lbs. lighter that the AMG wheel. The titanium intake valves are another nice touch. Head scavenging oil pump to move oil back to the pan from the heads under high G cornering conditions....Oh yeah....

did you even measure the distance b/t the center of the balance and the point where the wheel is hung? its the same. Its somewhat of an optical illusion I thought it was longer also but I took my fingers out and measured it,
