Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on DPE Elite 7
With so many Permaisuri customers wearing DPE wheels, I’m pretty sure this Jakarta-bound dealership must’ve been one of DPE’s finest worldwide partners. From Rolls Royce to a Ferrari, to a MINI Countryman, we-ve seen Permaisuri executing some greatly designed DPE wheels on highend vehicles. On today’s Permaisuri Thursday they presented us with their latest creation: the Evoque on DPE Elite …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on DPE
What’s the most stylish SUV/crossover on our streets right now? Must be the Evoque! Contemporary, modern and perfectly suitable for the fashion seekers, Land Rover has combined the seductive looks of coupe design with the practicality of an off-roader. A weird formula for sure, but a very successful one nonetheless. What we have today is a rather special Evoque that’s …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 135i on DPE Wheels
If you’ve ever heard of the BMW 2002 coupes, then you’d be familiar with BMW’s 1968 offering of compact sprinter. Short wheelbase, tall cabin and often fitted with powerful engines (think of the 2002tii). Fast forward a few years later and the 2002 has become what 3 Series are today. Grown up, accommodating and convenient. Exactly what the market needed, …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Autobiography on DPE
The Range Rover. A British icon that’s been handled by the German (BMW 1994), the American (Ford 2000) and lately the Indian (Tata 2008) throughout the company’s history. British design. German technologies. American rigidity. Indian business model. All of these traits have shaped up the Range Rover that we know today, and along these ownerships we can also see the …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Coupe on DPE
Never. Never have I imagined that the E Coupe can look so stunning wearing such banana’s outfit. Looks so right; looks so nice. Browsing through the history of E Coupe’s I’ve posted in HnP, they all seemed to be rather monochromatic. Black. Silver. Grey. White. Nothing else. Essentially they all looked good while showcasing the E Coupe’s elegant lines. But …

Permaisuri Thrusday // MINI Countryman on DPE
The way I look at it, despite the popularity of fake wheels in the industry, Indonesia still holds a prominent buying power when it comes to high value branded wheels. Take for example the GT86 on ADV.1 I posted some days ago. When ADV.1 put that image on their Facebook page, I saw commenters wondering why someone would install wheels …

Permaisuri Thursday // Ferrari 458 Spider on DPE
In this material world, a lot of people think that supercars are simply to be judged by their spec-sheet figures and fancy-named gadgetries. Top speed. Number of horsepowers. Price tag. Digital display. Etc etc and so on. Well, I personally don’t think so. To create an iconic supercar these days, a company need to be able to construct an animal. …

Permaisuri Thursday // C Class W204 on DPE
So aggressive, isn’t it? Today Permaisuri sent me these greatly captured C300 W204 wearing C63 body style and a set of gorgeous DPE CST10 wheels. While some people might argue that a C300 shouldn’t be wearing a C63’s bodykit, I’d argue for the contrary. Yes, the C63 is quite a beast to own. It also costs a lot more both …

Permaisuri Thursday // S Class on DPE

Thick spokes, luxurious finishing and trustworthy quality; these DPE Elite’s presented itself on par, if not better, than Mercedes’s standard of quality. Check out …

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 …

Permaisuri has done it again. Another brand new performance ride that has been dressed up with a set of DPE wheels.

Show Off // SLS 63 AMG on DPE
Just when I thought there hasn’t been any modified SLS 63 AMG in Indonesia, Permaisuri sent me these pictures of a sexy red one wearing dark DPE wheels. Compared to the other exotics, the SLS is definitely quite the peculiar breed. It doesn’t look as quick as the Ferrari, nor as techy as the McLaren MP4-12C. Mercedes has decided to …

Some has even been using the jargon ‘Gran Coupé’ to further confuse the market. Who actually started it? Mercedes Benz did, with the CLS. Go check out their site, they call it the CLS-Class Coupé, yet there are four doors attached …

Show Off // Mini Coupe on DPE
At a glance upon receiving today’s material, I thought the wheels on this Coupe were some sort of BBS RS. However, after a closer look and reading the spec, Permaisuri mentioned that these wheels are in fact DPEs! Closer inspection on these black wheels reveal a very different design compared to the BBS. The DPE RFK has a much more …
