Brakes?????

i saw a s class today, white, dropped, trunk spoiler, s65 bumper (no badges), s65 exhaust but s550 brakes

i pulled next to the dude and asked if it was a 550 (i was gonna tell him that it was very clean ). so i ask and after a little bit of hesitation he says "65", i look at the wheels again and say "where are the brakes?". he says "they are getting replaced"

im 99% sure that that was bull****, can anyone confirm
