 Results of Operations

 Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $134.4 million
 compared with $105.9 million in 1994.  This $28.4 million, or 26.8%
 increase in net sales resulted, primarily from the adjustment of the
 aluminum content of selling prices to reflect current market
 conditions, as well as increases in both OEM and aftermarket roadwheel
 shipments.  Unit shipments of OEM cast aluminum wheels increased 4.7%
 over the comparable period in 1994 and were generally equivalent to
 the overall increase in North American auto production.

 Net sales in the aftermarket business increased 20.3% over 1994 to
 $9.8 million, representing the continued success of the Company's
 "Streetwear" product line of aluminum and chrome-plated aluminum
 wheels, and favorable customer response to several new styles of
 aftermarket wheels.

 Gross profit was 23.4% of net sales in the first quarter of 1995
 compared to 24.2% in 1994, after factoring out the $1.1 million impact
 of the January 17, 1994 Northridge, California earthquake.  Lower
 gross profit margin percentages reflect the impact that higher
 aluminum costs bear on selling prices, but which do not impact the
 Company's profitability in absolute dollars.  The negative impact of
 higher aluminum costs on gross profit percentages more than offset the
 operating efficiencies achieved during the first quarter.

 Selling, general and administrative expenses, measured as a percentage
 of net sales, decreased to 3.8% for the first quarter versus 4.0% in
 the comparable quarter of 1994 and increased $907,000 in absolute
 dollars.  The increase in absolute dollars is a result of the
 additional resources required to manage the Company's expanding range
 of business activities.

<PAGE>   8
Reduced interest expense reflects $453,000 of capitalized interest
recognized in 1995 related to construction of the Fayetteville,
Arkansas chrome-plating facility verses $267,000 of capitalized
interest recognized for the Chihuahua, Mexico OEM plant construction
in 1994.  Partially offsetting this reduction to interest expense was
higher interest relating to greater short-term borrowings required to
manage the increased working capital requirements.

Miscellaneous, net decreased $873,000 as the Company incurred $600,000
of pre-production costs for the new chrome-plating facility.
Additionally, lower levels of interest income were realized relative
to the prior year as the Company liquidated short-term investments to
fund extensive plant expansion activities over the past year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.1 million in the
first quarter of 1995 versus $17.9 million for the comparable period
in 1994.  Supplementing cash flows were the liquidation of $7.4
million in marketable securities.  Lower levels of cash provided by
operations were primarily caused by the build-up of receivables and
inventories, offset somewhat by the timing of payments on trade
payables. Cash was utilized to fund $7.8 million of capital
expenditures for the Fayetteville chrome-plating facility, the
Chihuahua, Mexico second phase plant expansion and on-going facility
enhancements.   Additionally, cash was utilized to reduce outstanding
lines of credit.

Working capital and current ratio were $67.5 million and 1.6:1 versus
$53.8 million and 1.5:1 at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively.  The long-term debt to total capitalization ratio
improved to 9.7% at the end of the first quarter versus 10.3% at the
end of 1994.
