I'd very much agree with Ron on that one . I went from 17 to 16 inch wheels and the difference is noticeable and I'd guess that the roads around Galashiels are not dissimilar to South Kerry .
This just looks " right " to me .

Okay Ken. You don't look like a wagon train!
But, your spokes are a good size larger than Alpina's right?
I'm thinking that'll change the overall look?
In fact, your car looks damn good like that! WOW!

Ps; what wheels are those? Kinda spiffy. You got style!

They are 8.5 x 18 and 9.5 x 18 Beyern 5s (no longer available). The Beyern "Rapp" style wheels are kinda similar, but lack the added depression on the spokes going toward the lug recesses.

You guys are just slappin' me around, and I love it!
Another good lookin' 18"er!
Again I say, the Alpina spokes would change everything?
And, if he tries to maintain a good reading on the speedometer with a low profile tire it would ride way harsher. Me thinks.
Thanx for changing my thinking!

With Kos on this, it's the closed lug wheels that look best on Highlines. The bottom pic is the arse end of my non-Highline with just too much 17" Alpina going on! 265 tyres, just too much without a great big plastic bumper.
In fact, I sold these wheels to buy Kos's 16" closed lugs, but always hankered after the open lug ones. Pic on top.
No, I can't work out how to put photos in my post using the attachment function! Durr.

This my 89 Highline on
Two (x2) Front Wheels - 8.5j x 17" ET13 Alpina Part No. 3611638 (Tyre -235/45/17)
Two (x2) Rear Wheels - 9.5j x 17" ET28 Alpina Part No. 3611637 (Tyre - 265/40/17)
I think it looks great and the tyres are certainly cheaper!
