Rustenburg notes on rim & mag repair
Mine LDVs bring a steady flow of bent steel rims, and commuters bring alloys hit in potholes on the roads to Phokeng and Marikana. Local shops straighten steel and simple alloy bends and do curb rash repairs. Ask about crack welding before booking, since some send that work to Pretoria, and many will not weld a crack in a spoke or near the bolt holes.
Rustenburg: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Platinum mining runs through Rustenburg, and so do mine LDVs. White double cabs and bakkies with steel rims, spare wheels on the back and tyres scuffed by haul road rock are everywhere from Marikana to Phokeng. The N4 brings trucks between Pretoria and the Botswana border, while the R510 north carries ore and supply traffic. Potholes after summer storms and cracked shoulders on busy roads add commuter damage. Fitment centres and alignment shops are grouped in the Rustenburg industrial area and along the main roads near the CBD and Waterfall, with smaller tyre repairers in Tlhabane and Boitekong. Most straightening is local, but a cracked mag may still be sent to Pretoria.

- Mines and construction sites: alloy wheels on site bakkies checked and repaired after rough roads
