North West notes on rim & mag repair
Steel rims from mine LDVs and farm bakkies are straightened cold in Rustenburg, Brits and Klerksdorp, and alloy mags from town cars are refurbished in the same workshops. Some shops powder coat; diamond cutting is less common, so ask before you drop off a set. Wheels from Mahikeng and Lichtenburg sometimes go to Rustenburg or Gauteng. A rim that has been welded before, or one bent badly on a haul road, is usually safer replaced.
North West: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Platinum and maize shape what happens to wheels in North West. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mine LDVs, contractor bakkies and ore trucks run on the N4 and on dusty haul roads, which means bent steel rims, cut sidewalls and a steady demand for heavy wheel nuts. Further west, the maize farms around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Coligny keep tractors, trailers and planters on gravel, and the N12 through Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp carries steady freight. Weekend drivers on the R512 to Hartbeespoort add their own curb rash. Fitment centres and tyre shops are in every bigger town, with mag repair strongest in Rustenburg and Potchefstroom. Mahikeng is a longer drive from specialist work, so some jobs go towards Gauteng.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Mines and construction sites: site vehicle two-tone wheels refinished in a single tougher colour
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: chauffeur and shuttle vehicles keeping diamond cut wheels clean
- Private car owners: a scuffed two-tone wheel recut so it matches the rest of the set
