^ Yes each size has it comfort/handling/offroad merits depending on the use you are putting the car too, I for one prefer 20" factory on my car - I was asking as the wheels being removed are one of my preferred choices but thank you.

18" rims are the best compromise between road comfort, handling and off road performance. I'm happy enough with 19's and Pirelli ATR's but I ran 18's on my D3 for a while and they were great.
Not enough sidewall depth on 20's and they are much more susceptible to damage.
Of course you can't fit LR 18" rims to a D4 without modification or spacers etc. neither of which I'd want to do. So I'll fitting Compomotive PD1881 rims. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
