1SS question

I was just surfing Ebay, and came across a 2012 1SS with small brakes and 18'' LT wheels. Chevrolet web site says Brembos and 20s are standard. Im confused.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WE-FI...item416664bce7

Couldn't have been an SS...all SSs have Brembos...(large)..???

Unless the guy changed the brakes to get more wheel options...

The VIN matches a black 1SS/RS with automatic transmission.

That is STRANGE!

That is definitely odd, but it's got the engine to match so that would tell me that it is a SS. Not quite sure who would replace brembo's with basic V6 Calipers, and wheels.
