What to know locally in Mahikeng
Potholes on rural roads bend a lot of rims here, steel on bakkies and alloys on sedans. Local tyre shops can often straighten steel wheels, but alloy straightening, crack welding and refinishing are less common, so many wheels go to Rustenburg or Gauteng. Ask about the turnaround before you send a wheel away, and keep a sound spare if you drive to farms or rural offices.
Mahikeng: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
As the provincial capital close to the Botswana border, Mahikeng runs on government cars, cattle farms and cross-border trucks. Departments keep fleets of sedans and bakkies that travel long distances to rural offices, often on gravel, while cattle farmers toward Lichtenburg and Zeerust drive double cabs with trailers. Trucks use the N18 to the Ramatlabama border post and the roads toward Gauteng. Many rural roads have potholes and broken edges that bend rims and cut tyres. Tyre and fitment shops are in Mahikeng town and around Mmabatho, mostly along the main roads. For bigger rim jobs, such as crack welding, refurbishing a full set or diamond cutting, wheels often go to Rustenburg or Gauteng.
