Rim & mag repair in Randfontein: local notes
Most rim work in Randfontein is on steel wheels: bakkies, LDVs and trailers with dents and bent flanges from rough mine roads, often straightened cold. Alloy repairs such as curb rash, refinishing and pothole bends are done locally too, but crack welding and diamond cut recuts may go to Krugersdorp or Roodepoort. Ask whether a wheel with an old weld will be accepted; many repairers refuse.
Randfontein: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Gold mining shaped Randfontein, and it still shapes the tyre trade. Mine LDVs, contractor bakkies and haul trucks working the West Rand and Westonaria areas wear through tyres on rough, dusty roads and bring in steel rims with dents and cracked welds. In town, commuters from Greenhills, Randgate and Mohlakeng drive hatchbacks and minibus taxis on roads that potholes and heavy trucks have worn thin. The R28 runs south towards the Vaal and carries a lot of freight. Tyre shops and small workshops sit along Main Reef Road and the industrial streets near the town centre. For alloy crack welding or a diamond cut recut, many owners take wheels to Krugersdorp or Roodepoort.

- Mines and construction sites: site vehicle wheels refurbished after dust and gravel wear

- Private car owners: a set of peeling or corroded mags brought back before a long trip or sale
