                    SUPERIOR INDUSTRIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

           1.    During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting
                 policies set  forth   in  its  Annual  Report  to
                 Stockholders  and  applies appropriate interim financial
                 reporting standards, including the use of estimated annual
                 effective tax rates.  Users of financial information
                 produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to
                 the notes contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders
                 when reviewing interim financial results.

                 In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited
                 consolidated condensed financial statements of Superior
                 Industries International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
                 "Company") contain all the adjustments necessary to
                 present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
                 March  31, 1994 and the  results of operations and  cash
                 flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.

           2.    Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number
                 of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock
                 equivalents, when dilutive, during the period.

           3.    On May  21, 1993, the  Board of Directors  declared a
                 three-for-two stock split, payable July 20, 1993 to 
                 shareholders of record as of July 6, 1993.  All per share 
                 data in the unaudited consolidated condensed financial 
                 statements have been restated to reflect the three-for-two 
                 stock split.

           4.    Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized and taxes paid were 
                 $260,000 and $882,000, respectively, for the three months 
                 ended March  31, 1994.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 were $105.9 million
compared with $98.1 million in 1993. Despite a major earthquake
in California and severe winter storms in the Midwest and East
Coast, OEM net sales increased 10.8 percent over 1993 to $97.8
million. The increase in OEM net sales represented a 14.7 percent
increase in aluminum road wheel shipments as customer order levels
continued to strengthen reflecting increases in North American auto
production of approximately 12.3 percent in the first quarter.
Partially offsetting increased unit shipments were reduced selling
prices caused by the Company's adjustment of the aluminum content
of selling prices to current market.

Net sales in the Aftermarket business decreased 17.1 percent from
1993. Continuing aftermarket product net sales, without the
impact of the August, 1993 sale of the Company's Canadian
aftermarket mirror and light business, operating under the
trade name "Do-Ray", increased 1.5 percent over 1993.

Gross profit increased to 23.2 percent compared to 21.5 percent 
in 1993. Higher customer order levels translated into greater 
production requirements and more efficient and higher plant 
utilization resulting in incrementally higher margins.
The company achieved these margins despite severe winter weather
conditions in the Midwest and a $1.1 million charge for 
costs associated with the January 17th Northridge earthquake,
which impacted the Company's  Van Nuys, California facility. 
The Company's Van Nuys facility was back in full production a 
few days after the earthquake. In spite of these two negative and 
uncontrollable factors, the company was able to substantially mitigate 
the impact on production and meet all customer shipping requirements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, measured as a percentage
of net sales, decreased to 4.0 percent for the quarter versus 4.9 percent
in 1993 and decreased $585,000 in absolute dollars. This reduction 
reflects the divestiture of the Do-Ray operations, reduced advertising 
costs and continuing cost containment programs.

Interest expense decreased $574,000 in  the first quarter of 1994
compared to 1993 reflecting  required payments  and  prepayments
against  the Company's  Senior notes in 1993 as well as interest
capitalized in 1994 related to the Company's OEM plant expansion
activities.

Miscellaneous,  net decreased  $461,000  primarily  reflecting
lower  interest income as the Company converted cash and short-term
investments into long-term productive assets for plant expansion
activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash  provided by operating  activities in the  first quarter
of  1994 was $17.9 million  versus $20.0 million  in 1993.
Positive cash  flow reflected strong earnings and effective
management of working capital  resulting from expanded business
activities.

In 1994, cash was utilized for  $18.0 million in capital
expenditures relating to the new Chihuahua, Mexico OEM facility and
the ongoing Fayetteville expansion. Both projects continue to be on 
schedule with the Chihuahua plant scheduled to begin operations in 
the second quarter and the Fayetteville expansion scheduled for 
completion during the second half of 1994.  Cash was also utilized 
to repurchase and retire 57,500 shares of the Company's common stock 
for $2.2 million. Remaining cash flow was temporarily invested in
marketable securities.

Working capital and current ratio were $63.2 million and 1.7:1
versus $65.2 million and 1.9:1, at March 31, 1994 and December 31,
1993, respectively.  Decrease  in working capital primarily
reflects the purchase  of fixed assets related  to  plant expansion
activities.  As  expansion activities  continue, including the
chrome-plating plant  currently under construction, these ratios
will continue  to be  impacted.   The long-term  debt to  total
capitalization ratio improved to 15.3 percent at the  end of the
quarter from 16.1 percent at the end of 1993.
