Show Off // F10 5 Series on DPE
The DPE SP-SC7 is surely a perfect example of well-executed concave wheel design. It’s got the lines, depths, and finishings that have created a very techy and 3D-looking wheel. Such popular and favorited design, however, has a rather unpleasant drawback: the rise of replicas. I’ve seen a lot of similarly designed wheels (most are replicas wearing DPE center caps) on …

I’ve just received another highend combo from Permaisuri: A BMW 5 Series F10 rolling on a set of 21″ Modulare wheels.

Double Chills // Alvin’s Frozen Grey M3 on Blue TE37SL
Can you name any other two-letter car model that can match the M3’s personalities of sportiness and road-going performance? I bet you’ll be having a hard time doing so. Some say it’s the shortest yet most recognizable car model synonymous with benchmark-setting high-performance capabilities. Handling, power, aesthetics, and histories, the M3 has it all.

Black Pearl // Audi A4 on BC Forged
Mystique, murky, fierce, often bold and cold. Black is the majesty of the dark. Making friends with shadows and hazes, black entities often go very much unnoticed. The Dark Knight opted for its all-black suit for a reason. To blend with its own shadows. To move swiftly unnoticed. To create that element of surprise. To be feared. The same goes …
