I have both:
November to April = 16" which gives superior comfort,
May to October = 18" which has better cornering and looks (but your will feel the road more).

If I had to run one size then a happy compromise would have to be a sharp looking 17" rim with the right tire.

20s are too big and 18s are too small.. 19s are the best IMO
