Roodepoort notes on equipment & supplies
Roodepoort's long motor strip is a good market for tyre repair supplies, wheel weights and valves, and suppliers deliver along Ontdekkers Road several times a week. Second hand tyre changers and balancers often come up as shops refit. If you are buying mags or a replacement set, check PCD, offset and centre bore against the car, and ask for the matching wheel nuts or bolts.
Roodepoort: the roads, the vehicles and the workshops
Ontdekkers Road is Roodepoort's motor strip: kilometres of used car dealers, tyre shops, fitment centres and parts stores running from Florida towards Maraisburg. That makes refurbishing wheels for resale a big part of the local trade, along with everyday tyre and alignment work. Families in Weltevredenpark, Little Falls and Wilgeheuwel drive SUVs and double cabs, and the hills around Constantia Kloof and Ruimsig mean kerb scrapes on steep driveways. Older roads near the mine dumps and through Florida carry heavy traffic and break up after summer storms. Hendrik Potgieter Road and Christiaan de Wet Road add more tyre shops further north, close to the newer suburbs.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- Private car owners: the machine that lets a shop save a pothole-bent mag instead of replacing it
- Dealers, panel shops and insurers: a reconditioning shop repairing wheels for dealers before cars are sold
- Company and rental fleets: a fleet workshop straightening steel rims on vans and bakkies in house
