You cannot apply for ILR under the UK immigration rules as you do not hold a visa under the UK immigration rules to qualify for ILR.

Also, what date did you get married and what date did you apply for your residence card?

A Residence Permit isn't issued under the UK Immigration Rules. You also have a potential problem as your EEA national spouse has been granted British citizenship and hasn't been unable to sponsor you since the date they became a BC. .

i got married on november 2011, and i applied for my residence card straight after that , i have been granted Leave to enter (residence permit) on december 2012, my wife has been naturalised in 2013 , became british.
Could i still apply for ILR woth her British passport ?

She does not have to sponsor me as i am working as i am a manager at a financial institution, also we never claim a penny from the public fund

Under the EEA Regulations, your employment is irrelevant. You can't apply for ILR as you don't hold a spouse visa under the UK Immigration Rules.

Your wife should have waited until you qualified for Permanent Residence (PR) before applying for British citizenship.

A spouse visa under the UK Immigration rules and a 5 year residence document as a family member of EEA national are different.

Do you have both or just one?

Which is why you are not able to apply for ILR under the UK immigration rules.

You will need to apply for PR under the EU rules provided your spouse was a qualified person exercising treaty rights for the last 5 years and has evidence to prove it.
