What to know locally in Eastern Cape
Gqeberha and East London have workshops that straighten, crack weld, diamond cut and powder coat mags, and many work with dealers and panel beaters. Wheels from Mthatha, Makhanda and Graaff-Reinet are often brought to the coast for refurbishment. Curb rash and salt dulled finishes are common near Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred. A rim bent hard on a gravel road with a crack in the barrel should be replaced.
Wheels and roads in Eastern Cape
Car factories in Gqeberha and East London make the Eastern Cape a province where people know wheels, and the motor trade in industrial areas such as Struandale, Deal Party and East London's West Bank reflects that. Away from the metros, the story changes. The N2 through Mthatha towards KwaZulu-Natal is known for potholes and livestock on the road, and rural gravel roads in the former Transkei bend rims on everything from bakkies to minibus taxis. Karoo sheep farms around Graaff-Reinet and Cradock rely on long gravel stretches, while coastal wind and salt air at Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred dull alloy finishes. Mag repair and refurbishment are concentrated in Gqeberha and East London.
Who asks for mag repair around Eastern Cape, most often first:
- Private car owners: one scuffed or corroded mag made to match the rest of the set again
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: alloys on shuttle vans and premium transfer vehicles kept presentable
- Farms: double cab mags chipped by gravel and stones on farm roads
