Potchefstroom notes on rim & mag repair
Curb rash and pothole bends on hatchback mags are the bread and butter of rim repair here, especially around campus and the older streets. Local repairers straighten and refinish, and some do powder coating for bakkies and 4x4s. Diamond cut faces and cracked alloys often go to Johannesburg. Ask whether a used mag you bought online has been welded before, and have it checked for runout.
Wheels and roads in Potchefstroom
Students, soldiers and farmers share the roads in Potchefstroom. Every year a new wave of university students arrives with older hatchbacks, worn tyres and mags scraped on campus kerbs, while the military base and government departments run fleets of their own. Around town, maize and cattle farms send bakkies and tractors in on gravel, and the N12 brings trucks through between Johannesburg and Klerksdorp. Tyre shops and alignment centres line the main roads through the centre and toward the N12, with workshops in the industrial area near the railway. Straightening and curb rash repair are done locally. For diamond cut recuts or crack welding, many repairers send the wheel to Johannesburg.

- Private car owners: one scuffed or corroded mag made to match the rest of the set again
