Wheels and roads in Sandton
In Sandton the typical damaged wheel is a 19 or 20 inch diamond cut alloy wearing a low-profile run-flat tyre, scraped along a parking garage kerb or bent by a pothole on Rivonia Road. Thin sidewalls give a rim little protection, so a hit that a bakkie would shrug off can crack a lip or split a tyre. Premium SUVs, German sedans and performance cars mean more TPMS work, more careful tyre changes and more lathe recuts than in most of Gauteng. Wynberg, next to Alexandra, holds much of the local motor trade, with more workshops near Kramerville and along the main roads, while mobile smart repairers visit offices in Sandton Central and Sunninghill.
