Those wheels leave a JDM feel because of the large openings in between the spokes, it lets a lot of visibility into the caliper/rotor set up. If you get those wheels, a nice caliper paint (or powder coat job) and some fresh rotors will make them look even better. Google search images for "1 series black wheels" and you should get a lot of results around what you're asking.

As far as the center cap goes, it depends on the size the Avanti ones are. I believe the stock BMW ones are 70mm, so they'll fit if that's what the Avanti's are.
I agree completely! Luckily, I already have stoptech drilled and slotted rotors, and I have sprang from the MGP custom caliper covers. I got them to paint the caliper covers in real Dakar Yellow II and in the center of each it says "BMW" in black lettering. That's the main reason why I think these rims would look so good, is because the open space would compliment the nice looks of the brake assembly.

Thank you!
