Question for Suspension/ Wheel gurus

so I've been toying with the X5 d with different rims and noticed some weird phenomenon:

1- Stock 18s are crap...
2- Lightweight Rohanas (20x10 ET35 & 20x11 ET 25) improve engine response and acceleration, braking considerably
3- OEM 214s slow the d down, but handling is superb, I think since the suspension is dialed in with the wheel weight

does it make any sense ? What are your experiences with the different rims . I'm debating on reverting to option 2 but miss handling of option 3, keep in mind #2 is lower offset than 3 but is very light weight, any advise
