Western Cape notes on rim & mag repair
Cape Town has a deep choice of mag repair shops in Epping, Montague Gardens, Parow and Bellville, doing straightening, crack welding, diamond cutting and powder coating. Curb rash from tight parking and steep kerbs is the most common job. George and Paarl have shops for the Garden Route and Winelands. Salt air dulls finishes near the coast, so ask about sealing. A wheel cracked through a spoke should be replaced, not welded.
Western Cape: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Winter rain, not summer storms, is what opens potholes in the Western Cape. From May to September, wet roads in Cape Town, the Winelands and along the N2 hide holes that bend rims and cut tyres. Steep streets in the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard bring curb rash on low-profile mags, and salt air from Sea Point to Hermanus dulls alloy finishes. Wine and fruit farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester keep bakkies, tractors and trailers on gravel, and the Garden Route through George and Knysna sees holiday traffic and mountain passes. The motor trade is strongest along Voortrekker Road in Parow and Bellville and in industrial areas like Epping, Montague Gardens and Airport Industria.

- Private car owners: one scuffed or corroded mag made to match the rest of the set again
- Enthusiasts, 4x4 and performance drivers: aftermarket mags kept straight and clean, or refinished in a new colour
- Company and rental fleets: alloy wheels on executive cars and rentals repaired between bookings
