    hpalacio got a reaction from Journeyman425 in What color is your Journey?   
    Just got my wife's 2014 SXT Journey in Granite Crystal Metallic black leather, it's our second DJ (last one was a 2010 SXT Storm Gray).
    We just love the DJ, it's great for our family and the 2014 feels a lot better than the 2010, it feels better built, a nice improved suspension, smoothier tranny, a lot-way-better interiors, etc., and above all HUGE break rotors (at last, thanks people at Fiat... Ups... I mean Dodge).
    Keep you updated guys. Regards and happy easter.

    A plastic cover? Like a hub cap?
    Chrome is a plating process where the shiny chromium metal is deposited on top of the base metal - it can certainly peel away if the surface is improperly prepared or if there is a hole where moisture can get between the two surfaces.

    My old 2000 LHS has chrome wheels (actually I have 2.25 sets of them, one with all season tires and the other with my snows - the summers have TPS sensors) and the big problem is that the well where the TPS sensor/valve is installed corrodes and needs to be ground and grease coated every so often or else the wheel starts leaking - all 8 wheels (of the 9 - the spare is also chrome, but it's never been out of the trunk) have done this.
