                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Retirement Committee of the
     Hayes Wheels International, Inc.
     Savings Plan for Represented Employees:


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Savings Plan for Represented
Employees as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
changes in assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.   An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in
the accompanying table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements of assets
available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in assets available
for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than
to present the assets available for plan benefits and changes in assets
available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

                 HAYES WHEELS INTERNATIONAL, INC. SAVINGS PLAN
                           FOR REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
                         Notes to Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1996 and 1995



(1) Description of the Plan

    The Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Savings Plan for Represented Employees
    (the Plan) was established on August 1, 1985, and amended and restated
    January 1, 1993.  The Plan is a contributory, defined-contribution plan
    designed to provide eligible employees (represented by a bargaining unit)
    of a participating plant, division, or subsidiary of Hayes Wheels
    International, Inc. (the Company), with a vehicle to systematically save
    funds.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
    Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    At December 31, 1996 and 1995, two groups were participating in the Plan:
    the Howell plant employees, and the Romulus plant employees.

    Terms for each group are negotiated separately and may differ.  The
    following is a description of the Plan's requirements for each
    participating group.  Participants should refer to the plan agreement for
    more complete information.

    Eligibility

    HOWELL

    Hourly employees represented by a bargaining unit of the plant are eligible
    to participate in the Plan after three full calendar months of service.

    ROMULUS

    Hourly and salaried employees represented by a bargaining unit of the plant
    are eligible to participate in the Plan upon three full calendar months of
    service.

    Participant Contributions

    Participants of both plants may elect to make a tax deferred contribution
    of 1 percent to 15 percent of their compensation up to an annual maximum
    specified by the Internal Revenue Service.  Prior to July 1, 1995, the
    maximum contribution was 6 percent. The participant may also elect the
    percentage of their contribution to be allocated to each fund in multiples
    of 25 percent.

    Employer Contribution

    Only employee contributions are allowed under the plan agreement for
    Romulus.  Howell participant contributions are matched $0.10 per dollar of
    the first 2 percent of compensation contributed.

    Vesting

    Participants are fully vested in their participant contributions.  Vesting
    of employer contributions is based on years of eligible service as follows:

(1) Description of the Plan, Continued

    Forfeitures

    Nonvested employer contributions of terminated employees become forfeitures
    after a one-year break in service and are used to reduce future employer
    contributions.

    Allocations

    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution,
    the employer's contribution, and an allocation of plan earnings.
    Allocations are computed at the end of each calendar quarter based on the
    participant's account balance.

    Withdrawals

    Upon retirement, disability, or death, the entire balance of the
    participant's account becomes payable to the participant or the
    participant's beneficiary.  Upon any other termination of employment, the
    participant receives the vested portion of their account.  Withdrawals are
    also permitted for financial hardship or upon attainment of age 59 1/2
    under certain provisions of the Plan.  All benefits are payable in lump
    sum.

    Administrative Expenses

    The Company pays all administrative expenses associated with the Plan.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
    accounting such that all income, benefits, and expenses are recognized in
    the period to which they relate.

    Valuation of Investments

    Investments in common stock and bank common collective trust funds, except
    the GIC Fund, are stated at their aggregate fair value as reported by
    Comerica Bank, the trustee, based upon quoted market prices of the
    underlying investments within the funds.  Unrealized and realized gains or
    losses are reflected currently in the statement of changes in assets
    available for plan participants.  Purchases and sales of fund units or
    securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued



(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

    The Plan's GIC Fund is valued at the aggregate of the contract values of
    the guaranteed investment contracts with insurance companies held by the
    Fund, as the fund investments are fully benefit responsive.  Contract value
    represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the
    contract rate, less funds used to pay benefits under the Plan.

(3) Tax Status

    The Internal Revenue Service, in a letter dated July 22, 1996, determined
    that the Plan meets the requirements of section 401(a) of the Internal
    Revenue Code and is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(a) of
    the Code.

(4) Termination of the Plan

    The Company has reserved the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any
    time.  In the event of complete or partial termination of the Plan,
    participants become 100 percent vested in their accounts and the balance in
    the participant's account will be distributed at the discretion of the
    committee which administers the Plan.

(5) Related Party Transactions

    Comerica Bank serves as the Plan's recordkeeper and trustee.  The Plan has
    invested $2,150,816 of assets in Comerica sponsored funds at December 31,
    1996.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Retirement Committee of the
     Hayes Wheels International, Inc.
     Retirement Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.   An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules as listed in
the accompanying table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements of assets
available for plan benefits and the statements of changes in assets available
for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than
to present the assets available for plan benefits and changes in assets
available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

                            RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
                         Notes to Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1996 and 1995



(1)  Description of the Plan

    The Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) was
    established effective January 1, 1993.  The Plan is a contributory,
    defined-contribution plan designed to provide eligible salaried employees
    of a participating plant, division, or subsidiary of Hayes Wheels
    International, Inc. (the Company), with a vehicle to systematically save
    funds.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
    Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

    At December 31, 1996, five locations were participating in the Plan:  the
    LaMirada, California, plant; the Howell, Michigan, plant; the Huntington,
    Indiana, plant (effective May 1, 1996); the Gainsville, Georgia plant
    (effective October 1, 1996); and the Romulus, Michigan, plant and Corporate
    office.

    The following is a brief description of the Plan's requirements.
    Participants should refer to the plan agreement for more complete
    information.

    Eligibility

    Salaried employees not covered under a Company-sponsored pension plan are
    eligible to participate in the Plan.  An employee is eligible on the first
    day of the month following 30 days of full-time employment.

    Participant Contributions

    A participant may elect to make a basic deferred contribution of between 2
    percent and 15 percent of the participant's compensation.  The participant
    may also elect the percentage of the participant's contribution to be
    allocated to each investment fund.

    Employer Contribution

    Employer contributions consist of matching contributions and retirement
    contributions.  The matching contribution is 50 percent of the first 2
    percent of the participant's compensation contributed and 25 percent of the
    next 4 percent of the participant's compensation contributed.  The Company
    makes a retirement contribution quarterly to each member actively employed
    as of the last day of a calendar quarter.  The retirement contribution
    equals 5 percent of compensation until the participant's year-to-date
    compensation reaches the Social Security taxable wage base.  After reaching
    the taxable wage base, the contribution equals 8 percent of compensation.

                    Notes to Financial Statements, Continued



(1)  Description of the Plan, Continued
     
      Vesting

      Participants are fully vested in their basic contributions at all times.
      Vesting of the employer matching and retirement contributions is based on
      years of eligible service as follows:


                   Years of                      Percentage
               Eligible Service                    Vested
               -----------------                 ----------
              
               Less than 1                           0%
               1 but less than 2                    25
               2 but less than 3                    50
               3 but less than 4                    75
               4 or more                           100

     Forfeitures

     Nonvested employer contributions of terminated employees become forfeitures
     after a one-year break in service--unless the nonvested balance is greater
     than $3,500, in which case they would become a forfeiture after a five-year
     break in service--and are used to reduce future employer contributions.

     Allocations

     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution,
     the employer's contribution, and an allocation of plan earnings.
     Allocations are computed at the end of each calendar quarter based on the
     participant's account balance.


     Upon retirement, disability, or death, the entire balance of the
     participant's account becomes payable to the participant or the
     participant's beneficiary.  Upon any other termination of employment, the
     participant receives the vested portion of their account.  Withdrawals are
     also permitted for financial hardship or upon attainment of age 59 1/2
     under certain provisions of the Plan.  All benefits are payable in lump
     sum.

(1)  Description of the Plan, Continued

     Plan Benefits, Continued

     Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the
     vested portion of their account.  When a loan is made, the participants'
     investment fund(s) assets are decreased on a pro-rata basis and the loan
     receivable is reflected in the Loan Fund.  Loan repayments are redeposited
     into the participants' accounts based on current election directives.


     Administrative Expenses

     The Company pays all administrative expenses associated with the Plan.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
     accounting such that all income, benefits, and expenses are recognized in
     the period to which they relate.

     Valuation of Investments

     Investments in all common collective trust funds, except the Capital
     Preservation Trust, are stated at their aggregate fair value as reported by
     American Century Securities, Inc. (American Century, formerly known as
     Twentieth Century), the trustee, based upon quoted market prices of the
     underlying investments within the funds.  Unrealized and realized gains or
     losses are reflected currently in the statement of changes in net assets
     available for plan benefits.  Purchases and sales of fund units or
     securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     
     The Plan's Capital Preservation Fund is valued at the aggregate contract
     values of the GICs held by the fund, as the fund investment is fully
     benefit responsive.  Contract value represents contributions made under the
     contract, plus interest at the contract rate, less funds used to pay
     benefits under the Plan.

                          Independent Auditors' Report



To the Retirement Committee of the
   Hayes Wheels International, Inc.
   Employee Savings Plan:
   

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for plan
benefits of Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Employee Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for plan benefits as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in assets available for plan benefits for
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules, as listed
in the accompanying table of contents are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements
of assets available for plan benefits and statements of changes in assets
available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the assets available for plan benefits and changes in
assets available for plan benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules
and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

(1)  Description of the Plan
     
     The Hayes Wheels International, Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) is a
     contributory, defined-contribution benefit plan designed to provide
     eligible employees of a participating plant, division, or subsidiary of
     Hayes Wheels International, Inc. (the Company), with a vehicle to
     systematically save funds.  The Plan was established on July 1, 1985, and
     restated on January 1, 1993.  The Plan was amended on October 1, 1994 and
     May 1, 1996.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
     
     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, four Company locations were participating in
     the Plan:  the Sedalia plant, the Huntington plant, the LaMirada plant, and
     the Gainesville plant.
     
     Terms for each location are negotiated separately and may differ.  The
     following is a description of the Plan's requirements for each
     participating location.  Participants should refer to the plan agreement
     for more complete information.

     Plan.  An employee is eligible on the first day of the month following 30
     days of full-time employment.
     
     Participant Contributions
     
     A participant may elect to make a basic deferred contribution of between 2

     Employer Contributions
     
     Employer contributions consist of basic contributions and matching
     contributions.  Participants are eligible to receive basic contributions
     the first day of the month following 12 full months of employment.
     Effective May 1, 1996, the basic contribution is 5 percent of social
     security taxable wage base and 8 percent of wages above that base.  Prior
     to May 1, 1996, the basic contribution was $0.50 ($0.30 prior to March 1,
     1995) for each hour a participant worked.  The matching contribution is 50
     percent of the first 4 percent of the participant's compensation
     contributed.

     Vesting
     
     Participants are fully vested in their basic contributions upon enrollment.
     Vesting of the employer basic and matching contribution is based on years
     of eligible service as follows:
   

<TABLE>

                         Less than 1                0%
                         1 but less than 2         25%
                         2 but less than 3         50%
                         3 but less than 4         75%
                         4 years or more          100%
</TABLE>


     In the event of total and permanent disability, employer contributions are
     100 percent vested.  New Sedalia participants on or after May 1, 1996 will
     become fully vested upon being credited with 5 years of service, or if
     earlier, upon attaining normal retirement.
     
     Forfeitures
     
     Nonvested employer contributions of terminated employees become forfeitures
     after a one- year break in service--unless the nonvested balance is greater
     than $3,500, in which case they would become a forfeiture after a five-year
     break in service--and are used to reduce future employer contributions.
     
     Participant Accounts
     
     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution,
     the employer's contribution, and an allocation of plan earnings.
     Allocations are computed at the end of each calendar quarter based on the
     participant's account balance.

     Plan Benefits
     
     Upon retirement, disability, or death, the entire balance of the
     participant's account becomes payable to the participant or the
     participant's beneficiary.  Upon any other termination of employment, the
     participant receives the vested portion of their account.  Withdrawals are
     also permitted for financial hardship or upon attainment of age 59 1/2
     under certain provisions of the Plan.  All benefits are payable in lump
     sum.
     
     Participants may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the
     vested portion of their account at a market rate.  When a loan is made, the
     participants' investment fund(s) assets are decreased on a pro rata basis
     and the loan receivable is reflected in the Loan Fund.  Loan repayments are
     redeposited into the participants' accounts based on current election
     directives.
     
     Administrative Expenses
     
     The Company pays all administrative expenses associated with the Plan.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued

     Valuation of Investments
     
     Investments in all common collective trust funds, except the Capital
     Preservation Trust, are stated at their aggregate fair value as reported by
     American Century Securities, Inc. (American Century, formerly known as
     Twentieth Century), the trustee, based upon current quoted market prices of
     the underlying investments within the funds.  Unrealized and realized gains
     or losses are reflected currently in the statement of changes in assets
     available for plan benefits.  Purchases and sales of securities are
     recorded on a trade-date basis.
     
     The Plan's Capital Preservation fund is valued at the aggregate of the
     contract values of the GICs held by the fund, as the fund investments are
     fully benefit responsive.  Contract value represents contributions made
     under the contract, plus interest at the contract rate, less funds used to
     pay benefits under the Plan.

     the Plan in 1995 which exceeded IRS tax deferral limitations.  The
     repayments were made from the Capital Preservation Fund after the transfer
     of those excess contributions was made from all funds to the Capital
     Preservation Fund.
