  1. And this is why I would never trade my 2010 Journey for any other one 2011 and newer. I hate that I caint change out the radio to a high end after market one. I looked at a 2014 just today at a dealer. I like most everything about it but when I looked at the radio/temperature/infotainment dashboard. I said no way would I want that. Yes it has a few cool features but being able to change out the radio is a major thing for me. I dont know what Im gonna do when my Journey dies.

  2. I can understand why you wanna get different rims. Yours look good but only 17". Bigger ones will look much better. If I had 17" and was gonna buy new ones I would go with 20" because ther are much more options for tires than there are for 19" but since mine are 19" Ill stick with mine.

    The ones that I personally like are.

    I did see the same ones that you like on ebay in a 20".

    Do some research on 19" and 20" tires that will fit your Journey and go from their. Let me know what you decide Im curious to know. Thanks.

  3. Im doing the same thing to my 2010 Journey. Ive already done a few things. If you like your wheels you can have them powder coated black like I did to mine. It cost me $100.00 per wheel including the red stripe. I still need to do a few other things to complete it but I need to try to slow down cause Ive put in a lot of money into it already even though I ordered 2 more things for it just last night. I have a list of things that Ive done here. Just click the link below and check out my pictures in my gallery if you would like. I hope it all works out for you.

  4. Thanks. What backwards C are you refering to? On what door? If your refering to the black stripe's on the back lift door then no that was already done before the accident.

    I was brousing the new pictures here in the forum and I saw the J that your refering to with the backwards C. Thats not my J. Its Lawdog's J.

  5. looks goodl, i take it the little black backwards C they did on the doors is the something extra you had them do?

  6. Its all done. I finally got my J back. It was hard being with out it, especially since Ive only had it for 4 months. The shop did a great job. You caint even tell anything was done to it. The paint blended really good and the body work was exceptional.

  7. Maybe if you tell us how many km's are on your Journey we can give you a better idea of what really needs to be done up to that point.

    In the posting above he said he has 82000K on it. Im asuming thats Kilo since he is in Canada. I did a conversion to miles and its 50,952 Miles. Theres no way he should be having all these problems with that low of miles on it. Shouldnt it still be under warranty with that low of miles?

  8. In the past ive always gotten bigger wheels with smaller tires for my vehicles and Ive suffered everytime with gas milleage and lower overall mileage on the tires. I would agree 100% that they may look better. I know that there is limited tires for the 19" wheels but if you go with 20" then you will need to go with a lower profile tire so you can keep the overall diameter the same and lower profile tires means less overall mileage. I have the 19" stock wheel and I powerder coated them black with a red stripe and I love the way it came out. I also found a local tire company that sells used tires that are like new with less than 1000 miles on them. I just got 4 tires for $180.00. This means that even if I only get 35,000 miles and I need another set, Ill get them from the same guy for the same price and still be way ahead in overall mileage. Good luck.

    This is just my opinion and not everyone is going to agree with me.

  9. Nothing cause its still in the body shop getting fixed. I talked to them today and they said ill have it Tuesday of next week. I do have a few thoughts of what I want to do next. I really want the black front lights that are on the BlackTop version. Im gonna do an HID light kit for it and change most of the bulbs to LED's. Im feeling withdrawls from not seeing my J everyday.

  10. For sure check out other places just to be sure but I think you might find out that its gonna be about the same price, especially if you want it to come out looking as if it never happened. My Journey is in the body shop right now getting repaired. Good Luck.
