Why not let them go where yum wants them?

rpm doesn't know anything about finding packages to resolve
dependencies. You have to give it all the package names on the command
line if you are going to do this manually.

rpm -i *.rpm would work if those are the only rpm packages there.
Otherwise if you don't specify a download directory, yum will uses its
normal location under /var/cache/yum which is where it will look when
you do the yum install.
