Cape Town notes on rim & mag repair
Curb rash on low-profile and diamond cut mags is the bread and butter of Cape Town repairers, especially from the southern suburbs and Atlantic Seaboard. Mag shops in Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland straighten, weld, powder coat and diamond cut, and many run collection rounds. Pothole bends from the N2 and Cape Flats roads are common in winter. Replace a wheel with a cracked spoke or one welded before.
Cape Town: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Cape Town's wheel trouble comes in two flavours. Along the Atlantic Seaboard, Constantia and the southern suburbs, low-profile mags on premium SUVs and sports cars pick up curb rash on tight parking and scrape on steep driveways. Across the Cape Flats and on the N2 and M5, potholes, taxi traffic and debris bend rims and cut tyres. Salt air from both coasts and the strong summer southeaster carry sand that dulls finishes. The motor trade concentrates in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Salt River and Woodstock, with tyre shops along Voortrekker Road and Main Road. The harbour and the N1 bring trucks and fleet vans. Winter rain fills potholes and hides them, and the mountain passes test tyres on holiday runs.
