That wheel looks very similar to the Milan wheel. However, on the Milan wheel the lug nuts are visible. On this wheel, the lug nuts are covered by the center cap. So I believe the photo shows an aftermarket wheel. Or perhaps a Jaguar wheel that I am not familiar with....

Upon further review, I believe that is the Paris wheel with the associated Paris hub cap (which indeed covers the lug nut area)….

A very attractive wheel in my humble opinion....

Jon is right. Really hard to come by these. Saw one (1) wheel for sale on UK ebay a while back for like 900 GBP.

are these wheels on my 2002 XKR considered the "base" wheel, or an upgrade option ?

The double fives, I believe, where the base for the XKR in its early years, but they are a pretty wheel.

Cool Zray and Dizzly and their Wheels

ZRay…….Wake up and count the openings, 5 Little ones and 5 Large ones......Double Fives...These came on my 2000 XKR Coupe and as I recall...They were 18" and I believe they were Staggered......It's been awhile!

Dizzy Man.....Those are BBS "Paris" Wheels....I'm not sure of the diameter but I think they came in 20"....They had a Wrench in the Boot to remove the Hub-Cap and most of them had a Gold Tint out to the S/S Ring. As I recall, some of them came with a Beige color...sort of cream colored where these are Gold....(Girlie-Wheels) Saw a set of Gold Tints on a White XK Convertible once....They were not very popular compared to the Montreal and the Detroit 20" Wheels...

I can't wake up. The heat index makes me sleepy (136 yesterday)

I do know 5 + 5 = 10, AKA double nickel, double five, etc. I know this a surprise for you, but even Oklahomans, can count to 10, well, most of us can. I did lose a few billion brain cells when living in Austin for 20 years, but that's another story.

What I didn't know, until giandanielxk8 clued me in, was were the 5+5 wheels the base wheel or an option. And thank you for the information giandanielxk8.

I may be biased, but I prefer these base wheels to the optional ones.

Yep, they're 20" wheels. 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the back, just like the Montreal and Detroit wheels. I believe the color is also oyster.

I thought that was one of the colors but I couldn't remember Oyster....I guess that was the one I was describing as sort of a Beige color!....I remember back when all those BBS Wheels came-out! The Paris was dead on arrival..compared to the Detroit and Montreal...

There was also an 18" wheel called the Monaco. I had those on my XJ. In the Oyster color too!
