X150 wheels - RS - how rare?

I’m looking to get an X150 XKR and am pretty relaxed on spec. One thing that would make a big difference to me though is the wheels.

Are these ones ultra rare and ultra desirable?

Will they fit over non-Alcon brakes?
I don’t like the ‘split rim’ look of the standard wheels. Would I likely find to impossible to find a used set to change them? Thanks!

4.2ltr and 5ltr have different offsets so they are not interchangeable, so all 20 inch 4.2 wheels are interchangeable to those models years in XK, XKR, XKRS. guises. And the same goes for the 5ltrs.
look on eBay or Elite tyres Reading. For those RS wheels Some one will come allong on here with what they are called.

4.2 litre XKR-S wheels were called Vortex as were the 5.0 litre XKR Dynamic run-out wheels. Mike.

Thank you both, that’s really helpful! I’ll keep an eye out for a set once I have the car.
