Wheel/tire and PSI question

I am unable to find any used OEM 17" wheels for my F56 and new ones from the dealer are not worth 10% of the price of the car - give or take. Tire Rack has a set of wheels that almost look OEM (not too aftermarket) in the Radius WI15 model.

If my base 15" wheels require 35 PSI, how do you determine what an upsized wheel needs? My PSI tag on the car only applies to 15" wheels.

Thanks!

Just browsing eBay... Here is a set of 17" w/ tires for a good price. Especially with free shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Black-Genu...9X9a~K&vxp=mtr

The PSI would be 35 front / 38 rear.

Without sensors, crazy high price to me.

Thanks for the replies!

I guess I should check out Ebay real quick first. Not a fan of Paypal myself...they had a data loss issue many years back that compromised my bank account. Hard to trust their security after that. But Ebay might be worth a shot.

Thanks again!
