What to know locally in Free State
Bloemfontein has the most choice for rim and mag repair in the province, including straightening, crack welding and refurbishment, and some shops offer powder coating. Shops in Welkom, Bethlehem and Kroonstad handle steel rim bends from farm bakkies. Wheels from smaller towns are often brought in on a trip to the city. A mag bent in a spoke or with a crack across the barrel should be replaced, not repaired.
Free State: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Sitting on the N1 and the N3, the Free State sees a huge share of the country's road freight and holiday traffic pass through Kroonstad, Bloemfontein and Harrismith. That brings truck tyre blowouts, bent rims from potholes on secondary roads and travellers needing a quick puncture repair on the way to the coast. Off the national roads, maize, sunflower and cattle farms keep bakkies, tractors and trailers on long gravel stretches. Welkom and the goldfields have mine vehicles, and Sasolburg's petrochemical industry runs its own fleets. Bloemfontein is the centre for mag repair and refurbishment, with industrial areas such as Hamilton home to tyre and wheel workshops. Winter frost cracks old tar, and summer storms flood it.
