Super Cruiser // Lamborghini Huracan on Forgiato
Everyone loves everything with “super” prefixes attached to it, whether it’d be superman, superbigsale, supersizesteaks, for example, and for us, supercars. The word “super” itself can be interpreted into many definitions. It could be a size or anything way above average, you name it. In this case we’re onto supercars. In the earlier days, in the 60s to be precise. …

Power of Luxury // Aston Martin Rapide on HRE
In today’s society, everyone seems to be compelled by the idea of doing many things at once. The more the better, the merrier. Having equipments that can do all things at once. Having vehicles that can serve many purposes at once. Some are called smartphones, which can now be used not only to make calls, but also to share the …

Unmistakably Different // Ferrari 458 on Forgiato
Let me welcome you to another eccentric Forgiato build done by Permaisuri (the brand’s Indonesian master dealer). Several weeks ago we had the gold-wrapped M6 on Forgiato Drea-M featured on the blog, and today we have yet another staggering build on display: the Ferrari 458 Spider on Forgiato F2.01ECL. Red hot, with an open top, and equipped with such distinctive …

Golden Six // BMW M6 on Forgiato
Gold. The symbol of wealth, luck and prosperity. One of the most praised metal of all times, gold has taken the hearts of many through its various forms of being, from investors’s trading currency to lavish spenders’ jewelries. Most recently though, the color of gold has also taken the automotive cultures into custody. From gold-finished wheels to gold-color wrapped vehicle …

Special Treats // MINI Cooper GP2 on OZ Racing
Meet the MINI John Cooper Works GP2. A seriously retuned MINI JCW inside, which has been wrapped with some quirky fun shells on the outside. A limited edition of only 2000 units worldwide, the GP2 has been designed as the missing link between the regular JCW and the MINI Challenge race car. It’s the borderline of a production car and …

Permaisuri Thursday // Subaru WRX STI on Advan
Despite the rising number of “form over function” style movement on our city’s streets, we’re still seeing a majority of “functionally” modified cars out there. It’s especially true when it comes to higher performance rides such as the Evolution, STI, Type R and the like. A lot of performance Japanese ride owners are still sticking true to the functional modification …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI Countryman S on Alpina
Behold, the not-so-mini MINI: the Countryman. Deemed as MINI’s answer to those seeking a larger cabin yet retaining all the typical MINI perks and excitements, the Countryman is the MINI SUV. Built to be taller, larger, roomier than the standard Cooper, the Countryman has been designed to properly carry five adults with ample cargo space. What I have today, however, …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 1M on HRE
One of HRE’s latest design at the moment is the S104 from its S-series lineup. Quite a couple of sets have already made their way into Indonesia through Permaisuri, HRE authorized dealer. Some S-series were installed onto a 6 series, a C-class, and also surprisingly a Toyota Vellfire. Today’s pairing, though, is definitely one of my favourites, the BMW 1M. …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Class on Carlsson
To be honest I used to be rather skeptical towards single-tuner wheels. Sometimes I think perhaps they only exist for the company’s profit-taking sake, as an attempt to make available every single replacement parts for a particular car brand. From bodykit lips to badges to interior handles, and lastly to wheels. A bit too generic to my liking. Instead, I’d …

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 // Beetle on ERST Grora
Meet the Beetle. Arguably one of the most iconic cars ever built. Perhaps even as memorable as the Porsche 911, with a timeless design that has been passed over ever since it was introduced in 1938. However, unlike the 911 that still retains a rear-engine setup, VW has decided to relocate the Beetle’s engine to the front. Then also came …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI on HRE Vintage
Low is not enough. These days the “aggressive fitment” scene has been storming our car culture uncontrollably. They’re everywhere. No doubt, most lowered cars look mindblowingly stunning when paired with the right set of wheels. But let’s do keep in mind that being low is not everything; it’s not the end of the story. Throwing out the springs off your …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 5 Series F10 on Hamann
Any BMW fan would’ve agreed that one of the most iconic wheel designs that look good on just every BMW model is the multi-spoked. Take the classic Alpina wheel as an example. From E30 to F01, they all look good sitting on those long, straight multi-spoked design lines. There’s a strong sense of class and heritage with those wheels, perfectly …

Permaisuri Thursday // Maserati GranTurismo on Modulare
Officially it’s called the Modulare C22. But can never be found on the wheel manufacturer’s site. How’s that possible? Well, this nicely shaped concave wheels have actually been specifically devoted for sale only at Permaisuri. Call it Modulare C22 Permaisuri Edition if you wish. Unique and extremely exclusive, these gems definitely suit the looks of any exotics and supercars. A …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Sport on Kelleners
Perhaps only a few of you have ever heard of the brand Kelleners. Among Hamann, AC Schnitzer and the like, apparently Kelleners is the lesser known BMW tuner in Indonesia. Born from a heritage of the Kelleners’ family, who were successful in European racing series since the 1960s, Kelleners Sport now focuses on BMW performance tuning packages and aftermarket parts. …

Permaisuri Thursday // Cayman on HRE
No doubt HRE is one of our favorite wheels in the market. After the MINI Cooper on R series last week, today Permaisuri comes back with yet another HRE build. Posh, sporty and exciting, today’s Cayman has been fitted with a set of P series HRE, type P107 to be precise. Unlike the R series which have been designed with …

Permaisuri Thursday // MINI Cooper S on HRE
Most people are lured into buying aftermarket wheels because of their good looks. Few others are more concerned towards the wheels’ strength and potential weight-savings. Adding wheels’ costs to those factors and we’d have a pretty good idea at the market’s preference for wheels. At this current moment, I believe, Indonesia is still having a large market share of “good …
