Permaisuri Thursday // MINI Cooper S on Work
From circuit paddocks to car show floors, these 2-piece S1R Work Wheels have found a special place in the hearts of many. Classic five spokes design mated with gorgeous step lips, and put together under a lightweight spun forged construction method. With custom made offsets down to 1mm increments and a wide range of color options, these S1R’s proved to …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evolution X on Weds
After posting hundreds of featured cars over these past few years at HnP, I’ve learned one fact about the Indonesian car culture: Japanese performance car owners have some of the longest mod-spec-lists in town. GTR, S2000, Evolution, Subaru, for example, have proven themselves to be the perfect platforms from which an owner could build his/her childhood dream rides; thus installing …

Permaisuri Thursday // 3 Series E90 on Modulare
One of the world’s most renowned sculptor once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Simplicity? Well, looking at the current trends in the automotive customization industry these days, seems like the same concept is still greatly pursued. Some of the most admirable builds (such as this Beetle from Canibeat) look almost way too simplistic at one glance, yet a closer …

Permaisuri Thursday // Tiguan on HRE
Meet the Tiguan. The famous Golf’s taller, larger and more adventurous older brother. Unfortunately, unlike it’s hatchback sibling’s worldwide popularity, the Tiguan is sort of lagging behind when it comes to sales, especially in the US. Reviewers say perhaps it’s due to the awkward proportions, or the “nothing to see here” styling of the exteriors, or the uninspiring “just another …

Permaisuri Thursday // Evoque on HRE
Yes! I think it’s about time we’re seeing more daring wheel colors on our streets! What’s been quite a trend overseas has now been creeping slowly it’s way up to our car culture. You must’ve seen the A4 on blue wheels from the Indostance article, or the hyper blue TE37SL 1M from Surabaya, or the Volvo on gold Work wheels …

Permaisuri Thursday // F30 3 Series on DPE
Through the current gen of F30 3 Series, BMW has proven itself as the expert in designing sporty compact sedans. Which is actually not an easy task either, especially considering the fact that the F30 is larger in all aspects than the E90. How can you make a four-door sedan that’s longer than its predecessor look sportier than ever? Perhaps …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 1M on Rays
Last week we’ve featured the 135i on DPE, some time ago we’ve also featured the M135i on BBS; today it’s time for these rides’ beefier brother: the BMW 1M. Meaner, wider, and faster, the 1M has been infused by BMW Motorsport division’s culture of speed and precision on top of its 1-Series platform. From flared fenders to the aggressive bumpers, …

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 // 5 Series F10 on HRE S104
Another well built F10 has been featured on today’s Permaisuri Thursday post. With an M Sport body, Eisenmann exhaust and a set of luxurious 21″ HRE S104 wheels, Permaisuri has yet again managed to create one of the sleekest-looking F10 on our roads. Exotic. Rigid. With uncompromising details. The HRE S104 is surely among the most unique set of wheels …

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 Thursday // Murcielago SV on HRE Wheels
Permaisuri has done it again. SuperVeloce supercar meets super wheels. This raging successor of the Diablo SV has been prepared by Lamborghini as its toughest, fastest, most manic beast to date to bear the SV badge. With production figures that are much less than initially proposed (around 180+ instead of the proposed 350), it is then also one of the …

Permaisuri Thursday // Range Rover Vogue on Kahn
The Range Rover Vogue. A beast of might and luxury. It lets you travel across all nasty, muddy terrains while still being snuggled by its spacious first-class cabin. As sturdy as a brick, yet as relaxing as the ocean’s breeze. For years Land Rover (company) has used this formula again and again for the RR, successfully catered to the needs …

Permaisuri Thursday // M135i on BBS
Meet BMW’s latest creation from its BMW Performance division. No, it’s not one of those full-blown performance-focused M cars. Compared to the 1M coupe, for example, this M135i shares more of its traits to the standard 1-series hatchbacks, rather than the limited-run coupe. An angry-bird-looking facia with a sleek rear end, the M135i’s design and functionalities resembles those of BMW’s …

Permaisuri Thursday // Ferrari California on Forgiato
Seems like we are seeing an increasing number of customers opting for Forgiato wheels at Permaisuri these days. Last month we had the striking black on black Jaguar XKR-S and today we have this Ferrari California wearing the same Forgiato model but a different wheel-face profile. With a design that combines five-star mesh with a concave surface, the Forgiato Maglia …

Permaisuri Thursday // Aston Martin Vanquish on Advan
“The best Aston Martin ever”, as quoted from Aston’s official site. Now that’s an outrageously bold statement coming from a 100-year-old car manufacturer. How can it be that the Vanquish is the best car they’ve ever made in 100 years? Their flagship of the century? Let me give you a tour of its mind blowing features. 573 PS. 620 Nm …

Permaisuri Thursday // Scirocco R on Rays
The Scirocco. The lineup that’s been missing for 16 years in VW’s portfolio. The last MK2 ever produced was in 1992, and it wasn’t until 2008 that VW decided to bring the Scirocco back to life. Perhaps it’s due to the Golf’s popularity, and VW not wanting to eat away the sales of its own hatchback lineup. But then the …

Permaisuri Thursday // Ferrari 575M Maranello on HRE
Built by Ferrari and designed by Pininfarina, the 575M Maranello has always been of the nicest modern classics that have ever arrived on our land. Launched in 2002 as the successor to the 550, the 575M (M for Modificato) featured a wide range of modern technologies that were ahead of its time. It’s adaptive suspension system, for example, is directly …

Permaisuri Thursday // Jaguar XKR-S on Forgiato
You can tell that things are getting pretty serious when a manufacturer has stuffed pairs of 380mm-front and 376mm-rear disc brakes on their production ride. With engine outputs surpassing even that of Jaguar’s own XJ220 supercar from the early 1990s, this feline we have today has surely been raised in the wild. Born to brawl with the AMG’s and the …

Permaisuri Thursday // E Class Estate on Carlsson
As infrequently found as they are on the road, here we surprisingly have the third E Class estate ever sent in by Permaisuri. First we had was the one wearing HRE Wheels. Not long after came the one dressed up with AMG wheels. Today Permaisuri sent us this AMG Package equipped S212 estate wearing the Carlsson 1/5 Revo wheels. Targeted …
