I need to get a pair of headlamp rims to replace my dented one. My car is a 64 Morris 850.

I have been looking online and there are terms such as polished aluminium, alloys, stainless steel they used to describe the rims.

Do they look the same at all? and which one should i get? Do they come in different shape and sizes and different screw holes location?

In one ad it says: 'Alloys are good for compeitition use' and another says: 'IF YOU USE THESE ON THE MPI MINI FROM 1996 - 2000 THE DIMPLE WILL BE OFFSET AS OPPOSED TO BEING AT THE TOP

CHROME'

So what does it mean by offsetting the dimple, like it will shift a bit to the left or to the right? I think for my car the dimple should stay on top? My headlamps are H4s, would it matter which one to get to suit these?

Please let me know which one 2 get. Thanks
