                    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 adjustments
         necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature,  to present
         fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1996, and
         the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month and
         six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and  1995.

   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.    Interim financial reporting standards require management to make
         estimates that are based on assumptions regarding the outcome of
         future events and circumstances not known at the present time.
         Inevitably, some assumptions may not materialize and unanticipated
         events and circumstances may occur which vary from those estimates and
         such variations may significantly affect the Company's future results.

   4.    Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized , was $903,000 and
         $1,669,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and June 30, 1995,
         respectively.  Interest amounts capitalized were $0 and $541,000 for
         the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.
         Taxes paid were $7,641,000 and $18,212,000 for the six months ended
         June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively.

</TABLE>



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales were $137.6 million and $259.0 for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996,  representing a decrease of 3.7 and 6.5 percent, respectively,
from  comparable periods in 1995.  Lower net sales resulted from the aluminum
content of selling prices to OEM customers reflecting lower prices and costs.
For the quarter and six months, OEM unit shipments to  customers increased 6.6
percent and 2.6 percent, respectively, over comparable periods in 1995.
Production of vehicles by Ford and GM that utilize the Company's cast aluminum
wheels increased by an estimated 4.5 percent for the quarter and decreased 7.1
percent for the six months over comparable periods in 1995.  Compared against
the Company's increased shipments, this shows a continued trend toward greater
installation of aluminum wheels on vehicles that are being produced.  Although
still a relatively small portion of our business, shipments to our Japanese and
European customers are up almost 100 percent over last year and now represent
4.5 percent of OEM units shipped.

Net sales in the aftermarket business decreased 15.1 percent and 12.7 percent
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same
periods in 1995.  Sales in the aftermarket reflect competitive market pressure.




                                       8
<PAGE>   9
The gross margin was 22.1 percent and 20.1 percent for the quarter and six
months versus 24.0 percent and 23.7 percent for the comparable periods in 1995.
Reduced gross profit margins result from the lower plant utilization at certain
plants and continued pricing pressure by our OEM customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, were relatively flat as a
percentage of net sales for the related quarter and six months, at 4.0 percent
compared to 3.9 percent in the same period last year.

Interest expense for the second  quarter and six months in 1996 was down
$550,000 and 667,000 respectively compared to 1995.  This is a decrease of 56.6
percent and 42.5 percent, respectively, and reflects planned prepayments of
senior debt at the end of 1995.

Interest income was down $143,000 and $356,000 for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995.  The Company liquidated short-term
investments to meet daily cash requirements thereby causing lower interest
income.

Miscellaneous expense increased $1.6 million and $3.8 million for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1996,  over the same period in 1995.  These
increases are principally a result of  $2.8 million and $5.7 million,
respectively, of pre-production costs related to the new Fayetteville chrome
plating plant.  Higher pre-production costs reflect continuing technical
problems at the chrome plant.  The company has instituted major improvements in
the chrome plant which are now expected to result in decreases in our operating
costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.4 million and $51.9 million
for the three months and six months  ended June 30, 1996.

Cash was utilized to fund $4.6 million of capital expenditures for plant
improvements and equipment replacement during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
Additionally, during the same period, the Company advanced $7.8 million for
initial construction and equipment deposits for its joint venture with
German-based Otto Fuchs Metallwerke, in Tatabanya, Hungary.  The joint-venture,
which will operate under the name Suoftec Light Metal Products KFT will produce
both light weight forged and cast aluminum wheels to the European automotive
industry. Cash was also used to reduce outstanding lines of credit and
repurchase the Company's common stock, pursuant to its 1995 stock repurchase
program.

Working capital and current ratio were $63.7 million and 1.7:1 versus $86.0
million and 1.8:1 at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Long-term debt to
total capitalization ratio improved to 2.4 percent at quarter end versus 2.5
percent at year end.  Cash and short term investments as of  June 30, 1996 were
$25.2 million.  The Company's cash position is sufficient to liquidate all
remaining debt.
