Yeah you can't get away from the brake dust issue but I find it to be less of an aesthetics issue on these rims - under certain lighting conditions it is not noticeable because of the differing contrasts.

The Outies don't come with pre-drilled holes on the front - its part of the dealer prep. Sounds like the dealer fecked up - I would consider getting them to fix it or you can do as you say and drill them out to make them fit better.

As for the actaul screws - your stealer ought to supply them. If not, go see Napa or Autozone.

Do the 20 inch wheels ride rougher than the stock? i.e. small bumps more noticable on the road. I want to get 20's but I don't want to sacrafice the smooth ride I have now.

They are defintely noisier - given the contact patch is wider than stock; however IMHO it wasn't a Lexus to begin with so WGAS?. But "rougher", I don't think so, in my opinion.

I think smaller tires would even give a "rougher" ride than bigger sized ones.

Wouldnt tires with less side wall give you a rough ride. Tires are there to take some of the impact.

Now side walls are a completely different matter, and I would agree with you on that. On my previous post I was talking about tire diameter, as a whole, without regards to the side wall height.
