What to know locally in Randfontein
Most rim work in Randfontein is on steel wheels: bakkies, LDVs and trailers with dents and bent flanges from rough mine roads, often straightened cold. Alloy repairs such as curb rash, refinishing and pothole bends are done locally too, but crack welding and diamond cut recuts may go to Krugersdorp or Roodepoort. Ask whether a wheel with an old weld will be accepted; many repairers refuse.
Randfontein: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and it still shapes the tyre trade. Mine LDVs, contractor bakkies and haul trucks working the West Rand and Westonaria areas wear through tyres on rough, dusty roads and bring in steel rims with dents and cracked welds. In town, commuters from Greenhills, Randgate and Mohlakeng drive hatchbacks and minibus taxis on roads that potholes and heavy trucks have worn thin. The R28 runs south towards the Vaal and carries a lot of freight. Tyre shops and small workshops sit along Main Reef Road and the industrial streets near the town centre. For alloy crack welding or a diamond cut recut, many owners take wheels to Krugersdorp or Roodepoort.
Typical cracked rim repair requests in the area come from:
- Mines and construction sites: cracked site vehicle wheels condemned or replaced for safety
- Company and rental fleets: cracked wheels on pool cars assessed and replaced where welding is unsafe
- Farms: cracked bakkie and trailer rims from rocky farm tracks, mostly replaced
Local tips for Randfontein

The jobs that come up most: mine LDV and truck tyres, steel rim straightening, taxi tyres, alignment. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the shop does on-site tyre work at mine or contractor yards.
