Found on a mid-80s XJS. On the road, and coming up short with I.D.
Also, what would be my best bet for pulling the centre caps?

Momo sold something like that back in the 80s.
Compomotive FH something?
they're berkeleying hot, i want them
In reply to Patrick :
I imagine I would have to drill out the locks on the center caps to get to the lugs.
If I can figure that out, we may be in business.
Have you checked that the cap is retained by a lock? I've seen such but also had a set of aftermarket wheels on an RX-7 that just needed an Allen key to remove a similar cap.
In reply to Russian Warship, Go Berkeley Yourself :
Is that just a set of pins to unscrew? Drop a couple drill bit shanks in there and spin with pliers?
They look like Cromodora wheels that came on 80s Ferraris.
In reply to 914Driver :
As I mentioned un the Junkyard Thread, all of the Google Image hits coming up were Bathurst Globe (From OZ) or Ferrari 365.
The Cromodora has a thicker spoke. I haven't seen the Momo with the raised edge on the spokes.
It appears johndej is the winner with Compomotive FH. I was really hoping Frenchy would have wandered into the thread, seeing as they were on a Jag. 
Talked to a friend who has been working for Firestone for decades. He suggested snap ring pliers for the cap with a screwdriver in the jaws for leverage.
Going to take a quick trip to the Hammer Store to grab this before I head out there.
Forgot to update this.
Despite all the specialized tools I bought and brought, the tool that actually removed the caps was one of my large screwdrivers. (After drilling the bolt to use a spanner, however)
Those are super cool. And nice work on getting them open!
In reply to dyintorace :
Thanks. I really wish I had something in 5 on 120. These look incredible polished with painted recesses.
Very nice! Great looking wheel.
With that size, I'll bet you could get them on a Miata with an adapter.
Sweet, text me a price if you want to sell them.
Awesome score!
