open the drivers door, look down at where the hinge is and there is normally a sticker indicating what pressure to put in.
failing that, 2bar is the normal pressure (around 29psi) just stick that in, the car won't just fall off the road because of incorrect tyre pressures.

they are aftermarket alloys though mate and are 2 inches bigger than the standards?

Just whack about 33psi in all round. Enough grip round corners but not rock solid when going over bumps.
I got 35 psi in my 1.1. Fuel economy ftw!
