              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 fiancial
        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 September 30, 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows
        for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 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.  Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized, was $1,773,000 and taxes 
        paid was $22,870,000, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

    4.  During 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
        Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
        Equity Securities (SFAS 115).  Under the provisions of SFAS 115 the
        Company is required to adjust the carrying value of its investment
        portfolio to fair market value.  Such adjustment, which resulted from
        market fluctuations related to U. S. government agency securities,
        amounted to $2.1 million and was recorded as a reduction to
        shareholders' equity.

Results of Operations

Net sales were $107.4 million and $334.0 million for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1994, or 29.7 percent and 16.1 percent,
respectively, above comparable periods in 1993.  Increased shipments in both
the OEM and aftermarket businesses contributed to this strong performance. OEM
aluminum road wheel shipments increased 26.0 percent and 18.4 percent for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively, over 1993
levels.  In what is historically a slow quarter due to retooling by automotive
manufacturers for new model year changeovers, customer order levels remained
strong reflecting increases in North American auto production of approximately
12.7 percent for the quarter and 12.5 percent for the first nine months of
1994, as compared with 1993.  Net sales in the aftermarket, without the impact
of the August 1993 sale of the Do-Ray mirror and light business, increased 20.7
percent and 18.9 percent for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1994, respectively, above comparable periods in 1993.  Increases were achieved
predominantly in the roadwheel division as strong customer demand for the
Company's "Streetwear" product line continues to drive sales.

Gross margins were 24.3 percent for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 versus 23.7 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively, in 1993.
Continued increasing customer order levels translated into greater production
and more efficient plant utilization, which was partially offset by the
Fayetteville, Arkansas plant expansion activities and the commencement of
operations at the new Chihuahua, Mexico facility.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
were 4.5 percent and 4.3 percent for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994, respectively, versus 4.7 percent and 4.6 percent, 
respectively for the comparable periods in 1993, but increased in absolute 
dollars. This increase reflects higher costs associated in managing the 
Company's expanding business activities and legal costs associated with the
Company's successful defense of a patent litigation case during the quarter.
        
Interest expense decreased $164,000 and $1,413,000 for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively, from comparable periods in 
1993 due to payments and prepayments against Senior notes in 1993, and interest
capitalized in 1994 related to OEM plant expansion activities. Partially
offsetting these reductions were additional interest costs associated with
higher borrowings under short term lines of credit.

Miscellaneous, net decreased $1,534,000 and $2,325,000 for the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively, from similar levels in
1993, primarily as a result of pre production costs of $730,000 related to the
Chihuahua, Mexico facility and lower interest income due to the liquidation of
short term investments.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of
1994 was $37.4 million versus $52.0 million in 1993.  Despite stronger
earnings, working capital requirements for plant expansion activities resulted
in reduced operating cash flows when compared to the prior year.

In 1994, cash was utilized to fund $50.6 million in capital
expenditures relating primarily to the new Chihuahua, Mexico OEM facility,
ongoing Fayetteville plant expansion and the new OEM chrome plating plant,
which is scheduled to commence operations near the end of the year. 
Additionally, cash was utilized to repurchase 483,600 shares of the Company's
common stock pursuant to the previously announced stock repurchase program. To
supplement the daily cash requirements, the Company utilized $26.4 million of
short term lines of credit and liquidated $4.0 million of its short term
investment portfolio.  The Company anticipates that it will substantially
reduce by year end the amounts borrowed under its short term credit facilities.

Working capital and current ratio were $53.6 million and 1.5:1 versus
$78.1 million and 2.0:1, at September 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993,
respectively. The decrease in working capital and current ratio is primarily the
result of internally funding OEM plant expansion and Company stock repurchase
activities. The long term debt to total capitalization ratio improved to 13.8
percent at the end of the quarter from 16.9 percent at the end of 1993.
