I'm not sure the official name, but it's silver. I had the stripe done at a vinyl sign shop.

factory 19" Kumhos have enough tread for summer driving, but not enough for this winter so I broke down and bought these from Tire Rack. They look so similar to the stock wheels. It hasn't snowed here yet, but the tires are wonderful on pavement - so quiet and smooth.

^^ Like you, my OEM Kumhos (19") have been great year round tires, but going into this winter, they are a little too close to the wear indicators so I decided to get winter wheels and tires this winter. I probably still have enough tread on the OEMs to get through the next two summers since I drive a convertible Mustang when it's nice.

I went down a wheel size and bought the least expensive 18" Sport Edition wheel from Tire Rack with Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 tires. They look amazingly similar to the stock wheels:

is the satelite radio telling you one of your favorite artists or songs is playing? My '11 chimes me even when the radio is off. nice feature.

Did you get the the tint at Lamin-X? That's where I got mine, and mine are a little on the light side (when lit) too.

I use the Saris Bones rack on my '11 DJ. Haven't had a problem yet.

^^ I'm surprised you like the Forester. I can't stand driving in my wife's '10 Forester since buying my '11 Journey. The Forester is superior in snow, but it's a cheap tinny ride in comparison.

So you had to use spacers or adapters?

any rubbing? Those look fantastic. Do want.

on Ebay they have these in 20x9 - reproductions.

when you tune to XM channel 0 (zero), there's no ID number?

would be a good idea for winter wheels, if you could find a not-so-great-looking set of clad wheels, and were willing to do the sweat equity.

just a quick image search found these...

here's some wheels after the chrome clad was removed:

doesn't take much imagination to see that the remaining wheel could be worked to look good.

and here's the second wheel I showed painted:

I did a Google search to see what some people are doing with chrome clad wheels. Some look pretty cool with the plastic "hubcap" removed, and the rim painted or sanded and polished.

and make sure you don't have an iPhone near the fob. My doors won't open if I'm carrying the fob and the phone in the same hand.

hope your next purchase is better.

I came to the Journey from a Mazda 5 for the same brakes reason as you're leaving the Journey. I know that's really frustrating.

And my Journey started out the same way, but luckily the dealer fixed the problem the third time. I thought "oh no, here we go again."

my mufflers drain overnight (2011) while it's sitting there. I've often thought that is strange. Quite a bit comes out.

Bosch ICON wipers are the only ones I've found to not leave streaks on my Journey so far. Expensive, but worth it.

my stock wipers did not last long.

I like the 20s better than the 22s.

tinting the front windows 20% to match the rest of the windows is your cheapest, easiest first mod. Do that. Should only cost about $80.

picture picture pictures....

Caravan is available same way. Want.

oh snap.

I'm curious to see these installed.

I like the red.

I agree the satellite sound is weird, distorted even. But I have no complaint with the cd, mp3/4 or local radio station sound.
