The Rhino2 20m would be the right kite. The size of your board indicates intermediate skills. You will not be able to hold the 20m in 18 knots at your skill level. Once you get better, you will though. At your weight, I would not get the 16 or 18.
If you still prefer to go smaller than a 20m, then consider the 18m Toro2. That is a very good kite. I think you would like it better than a Rhino2 18m, and you would have more fun with it.
