Default What is the name of this wheel?

I keep hearing references to the various wheel designs by name. Is there a collection of pics anywhere that identifies the name? Would one be useful? Here is mine - 2002 XKR 18" - and I have no idea what it would be called - and/or if it came factory chrome or aftermarket? Any guesses?

It has been called many names, but the most official I have found is the "Double Five" wheel. It came on the 2000-2001(2002?) XKR. Yours is chrome so it is an after market process.

Here is a more complete list as I noticed none of the pre 05 BBS 20" options were on Test Points link.

I am still looking for a place that lists the BBS Perseus or RSII wheels. They are not even listed in Nigel Thornley's You and Your XK8" book they are shown in a pictures on page 92 and 94 but not in the Alloy Wheel Ranges in Appendix "C" - Anyone seen them out there?
