Northern Cape notes on rim & mag repair
Rim repair in the Northern Cape is mostly steel rims bent on corrugated gravel and rocky mine roads, straightened in Kimberley, Upington or Kathu. A few shops refurbish and powder coat alloys. Diamond cut wheels and difficult crack welds usually leave the province, so ask how they are packed and how long the courier takes. If a rim has a crack near the hub after a rock strike, replace it rather than drive on it.
Repairers and tyre shops in Northern Cape
Nowhere else in South Africa are the distances between tyre shops this long. A bakkie heading from Upington to Springbok on the N14 or from Kimberley towards De Aar can cover hundreds of kilometres between towns, much of it in fierce summer heat. Iron ore and manganese mines around Kathu and Postmasburg run LDVs and trucks on rough haul roads, and farmers on the Orange River and in the Karoo rely on gravel roads that are hard on sidewalls and wheel bearings. Kimberley and Upington have the main fitment centres and the few shops that straighten and refurbish mags. For diamond cutting or complex crack welding, many wheels go to Bloemfontein, Gauteng or Cape Town.
Typical powder coating and rim painting requests in the area come from:
- Mines and construction sites: site vehicle steel rims coated tough against dust and stone chips
- Truck, bus and taxi operators: truck and bus steel rims coated against rust and road grime
- Private car owners: a colour change to gloss black or gunmetal for a fresh look
