ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
 
     This Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Report") of Hayes Wheels
International, Inc. (the "Company") is being filed to update certain information
contained in the Current Reports on Form 8-K of the Company, dated June 6, 1997,
June 20, 1997 and June 30, 1997 (the "Prior Reports"), with respect to (i) the
sources and uses of funds in connection with the Lemmerz Acquisition (as defined
below) and (ii) certain pro forma financial data.
 
     Unless the context otherwise requires, "Hayes" refers to Hayes Wheels
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, before the acquisition of Lemmerz on
June 30, 1997 (the "Lemmerz Acquisition"), the term "Lemmerz" refers to Lemmerz
Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries, the term the "Company" refers to Hayes and
its subsidiaries (including Lemmerz) on a combined basis after the Lemmerz
Acquisition, the term "Transactions" refers to the Lemmerz Acquisition and the
financing therefor and the term "Motor Wheel Transactions" refers to the series
of related transactions pursuant to which Motor Wheel Corporation ("Motor
Wheel") became a subsidiary of Hayes. All references to fiscal years of the
Company in this Report refer to years commencing on February 1 of such year and
ending January 31 of the following year.
 
     Unless otherwise indicated, financial information in this Report with
respect to Lemmerz is expressed in dollars or in Deutsche Mark ("marks" or
"DM"). Amounts stated in dollars, unless otherwise indicated, have been
translated from marks in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied and should not be construed as
representations that the mark amounts actually represent such dollar amounts or
could have been converted into dollars at the rate indicated. Assets and
liabilities denominated in marks are translated at the rate of exchange in
effect on the balance sheet date and income and expenses are translated at the
average rates of exchange prevailing during the year.
 
                            THE LEMMERZ ACQUISITION
 
     On June 30, 1997, Hayes acquired the capital stock of Lemmerz for (i) $200
million in cash and (ii) convertible preferred stock of Hayes, which following
stockholder approval, will automatically convert into 5 million shares of Hayes
common stock (the "Common Stock").
 
     The cash portion of the consideration, the refinancing of existing Lemmerz
debt, working capital of the Company and the fees and expenses of the Lemmerz
Acquisition was financed with new senior bank debt and the proceeds from the
offering of $250 million of 9 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes of Hayes due 2007
(the "Notes"). Subsequent to the completion of the Lemmerz Acquisition, the
Company agreed to issue and sell an additional $150 million of 9 1/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "New Notes") on substantially the same terms
and conditions as the Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the
New Notes will be used to repay outstanding bank indebtedness.

                   SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The following table sets forth certain unaudited pro forma financial data
for the Company for the year ended January 31, 1997 and for the three-month
period ended April 30, 1997, which are presented to reflect the pro forma effect
of (i) the Lemmerz Transactions, (ii) the Motor Wheel Transactions and (iii) the
issuance and sale of the Notes and the New Notes (collectively, the "Offerings")
and the application of the proceeds thereof. The unaudited pro forma statement
of operations data give effect to the Lemmerz Transactions, the Motor Wheel
Transactions and the Offerings as if they had occurred on February 1, 1996. The
unaudited pro forma balance sheet data give effect to the Lemmerz Transactions
and the Offerings as if they had occurred on April 30, 1997. The unaudited pro
forma combined financial data do not purport to be indicative of the results of
operations or financial position of the Company that would have actually been
obtained had the Lemmerz Transactions, the Motor Wheel Transactions and the
Offerings been completed as of February 1, 1996, or which may be obtained in the
future. The unaudited pro forma combined financial data (i) have been derived
from and should be read in conjunction with the "Pro Forma Combined Condensed
Financial Data" and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report and (ii)
should be read in conjunction with the separate historical consolidated
financial statements of Hayes and Lemmerz and the notes thereto and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in the Prior Reports and in the Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q of Hayes for the three-month period ended April 30, 1997 (the "Form 10-Q").

(a) The pro forma financial data do not reflect (i) any cost savings related to
    or synergies that are expected to result from the Lemmerz Acquisition, (ii)
    future unrealized cost savings related to, or synergies that are expected to
    result from, the Motor Wheel Transactions or (iii) any cost savings related
    to the closing of Hayes' Romulus facility.
 
(b) "EBITDA" represents the sum of income before interest expense and income
    taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, non-recurring charges, and
    certain other non-cash income and expense items. EBITDA should not be
    construed as a substitute for income from operations, net income or cash
    flow from operating activities, for the purpose of analyzing the Company's
    operating performance, financial position and cash flows. The Company has
    presented EBITDA because it is commonly used by investors to analyze and
    compare companies on the basis of operating performance and to determine a
    company's ability to service debt.

                  PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations of the Company for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997 and the three-month period ended April
30, 1997 (the "Pro Forma Statements of Operations"), and the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Balance Sheet of the Company as of April 30, 1997 (the "Pro Forma
Balance Sheet" and, together with the Pro Forma Statements of Operations, the
"Pro Forma Financial Statements"), have been prepared to illustrate the
estimated effect of the Lemmerz Transactions, the Motor Wheel Transactions and
the Offerings. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect any anticipated
cost savings from the Lemmerz Acquisition, or any synergies that are anticipated
to result from the Lemmerz Acquisition, and there can be no assurance that any
such cost savings or synergies will occur. The Pro Forma Statements of
Operations give pro forma effect to the Motor Wheel Transactions, the Lemmerz
Transactions and the Offerings as if they had occurred on February 1, 1996. The
Pro Forma Balance Sheet gives pro forma effect to the Lemmerz Transactions and
the Offerings as if they had occurred on April 30, 1997. The Pro Forma Financial
Statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or
financial position of the Company that would have actually been obtained had
such transactions been completed as of the assumed dates and for the period
presented, or which may be obtained in the future. The pro forma adjustments are
described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The Pro Forma
Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the separate historical
consolidated financial statements of Hayes and Lemmerz and the notes thereto and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in the Prior Reports and the Form 10-Q.
 
     The Lemmerz Acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price (including the
market value of the Hayes securities issued to the Lemmerz shareholders) was
allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Lemmerz based
upon their respective fair values as of June 30, 1997, the effective time of the
Lemmerz Acquisition, based on valuations and other studies which are not yet
available. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price has been made to major
categories of assets and liabilities in the accompanying Pro Forma Financial
Statements based on available information. The actual allocation of purchase
price and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ
significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. These pro forma
adjustments represent management's preliminary determination of purchase
accounting adjustments and are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. Consequently, the
amounts reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are subject to change,
and the final amounts may differ substantially.

- -------------------------
* "EBITDA" represents the sum of income before interest expense and income
  taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, non-recurring charges, and certain
  other non-cash income and expense items. EBITDA should not be construed as a
  substitute for income from operations, net income or cash flow from operating
  activities, for the purpose of analyzing the Company's operating performance,
  financial position and cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA because it
  is commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of
  operating performance and to determine a company's ability to service debt.

* "EBITDA" represents the sum of income before interest expense and income
  taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, non-recurring charges, and certain
  other non-cash income and expense items. EBITDA should not be construed as a
  substitute for income from operations, net income or cash flow from operating
  activities, for the purpose of analyzing the Company's operating performance,
  financial position and cash flows. The Company has presented EBITDA because it
  is commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis of
  operating performance and to determine a company's ability to service debt.

       NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
 
(a) The Pro Forma Statement of Operations assumes that the Lemmerz Transactions,
    the Motor Wheel Transactions and the Offerings occurred on February 1, 1996.
    For purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the year ended
    January 31, 1997, Motor Wheel's historical statement of operations for the
    five months ended June 30, 1996 and Lemmerz's historical statement of
    operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 were combined with Hayes'
    historical statement of operations for the year ended January 31, 1997. For
    purposes of the Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the three-month period
    ended April 30, 1997, Lemmerz's historical statement of operations for the
    three-month period ended March 31, 1997 was combined with Hayes' historical
    statement of operations for the three-month period ended April 30, 1997.
 
(b) The acquisition of Motor Wheel was accounted for by the purchase method of
    accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price was
    allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Motor
    Wheel based upon their respective fair values as of the closing date based
    upon valuations and other studies. The following presents the effect of the
    purchase adjustments and adjustments to reflect adoption of the Company's
    accounting policies and pension and post-retirement benefit cost assumptions
    on the Motor Wheel Statement of Operations for the five months ended June
    30, 1996:

</TABLE>
 
    The adjustments for estimated pro forma depreciation and amortization of
    intangible assets and goodwill are based on their estimated fair values.
    Property, plant and equipment are being depreciated over estimated useful
    lives. Motor Wheel historically depreciated the $215.4 million of historical
    cost of its assets appearing on the December 31, 1995 balance sheet over a
    composite life of 14 years resulting in $15.4 million of annual
    depreciation, accumulated depreciation of $136.4 million and a net book
    value of $79.0 million. Upon consummation of the Motor Wheel Transactions,
    the fair value of assets acquired was estimated to be approximately $92.0
    million. This amount is being depreciated over 25 years for buildings and 12
    years for equipment, consistent with Hayes' depreciation policy for used
    equipment and Hayes' estimate of the remaining economic life of the assets
    ($7.2 million of annual depreciation expense). Other intangible assets and
    goodwill are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, not to
    exceed 40 years. For pro forma purposes, a 35-year composite amortization
    life has been used.
 
(c) The Lemmerz Acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of
    accounting. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price was
    allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Lemmerz
    based upon their respective fair values as of June 30, 1997, the effective
    time of the Lemmerz Acquisition, based upon valuations and other studies
    which are not yet available. A preliminary allocation of the purchase price
    has been made to major categories of assets and liabilities based on
    available information. The actual allocation of purchase price and the
    resulting effect on income from operations may differ significantly from the
    pro forma amounts included herein. The following presents the effect of

    The adjustments for estimated pro forma depreciation and amortization of
    intangible assets and goodwill are based on their estimated fair values.
    Property, plant and equipment is being depreciated over estimated useful
    lives. Lemmerz historically depreciated the $519.5 million of historical
    cost of its assets appearing on the December 31, 1996 balance sheet over a
    composite life of 18 years resulting in $28.7 million of annual depreciation
    in the year ended December 31, 1996, accumulated depreciation of $364.8
    million and a net book value of $154.7 million. Upon consummation of the
    Lemmerz Acquisition, the fair value of assets acquired was estimated to be
    $194.7 million. This amount is being depreciated over 25 years for buildings
    and 12 years for equipment, consistent with Hayes' depreciation policy for
    used equipment and Hayes' estimate of the remaining economic life of the
    assets ($13.8 million of annual depreciation expense). Other intangible
    assets and goodwill are being amortized over their estimated useful lives,
    not to exceed 40 years. For pro forma purposes, a 35-year composite
    amortization life has been used.
 
(d) As part of its restructuring, Motor Wheel permanently terminated
    approximately 50 corporate positions and eliminated certain salaries and
    related costs associated with its Okemos, Michigan corporate headquarters.
    The savings related to the elimination of these salaries and related costs
    are as follows:

    entering into interest rate caps and swaps with respect to a portion of the
    floating rate debt to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations.
 
(g) Reflects income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments assuming a combined
    effective statutory income tax rate of 43%.
 
(h) Excluding the effects of one-time and non-recurring charges and
    extraordinary items, pro forma net income for the year ended January 31,
    1997 would have been $2.5 million.
 
(i) For the purpose of computing this ratio, earnings consist of earnings before
    taxes on income and fixed charges. Fixed charges consists of interest
    expense, capitalized interest, amortization of deferred debt issuance costs
    and one third of rental expense. On a pro forma combined basis for the
    fiscal year ended January 31, 1997, earnings were insufficient to cover
    fixed charges by $110.3 million.
