              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   Presentation of Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

     During interim periods, Superior Industries International, Inc. and its
     subsidiaries follow the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report
     to Shareholders and apply appropriate interim financial reporting
     standards, as indicated below. Users of financial information produced for
     interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes contained in the 1998
     Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing interim financial results.

     Interim financial reporting standards require us to make estimates that are
     based on assumptions regarding the outcome of future events and
     circumstances not known at that time, including the use of estimated
     effective tax rates. Inevitably, some assumptions may not materialize and
     unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which vary from those
     estimates and such variations may significantly affect our future results.

     In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
     statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission's requirements of Form 10-Q and contain all
     adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, which are necessary for a
     fair presentation of i) the consolidated condensed statements of income for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, ii) the consolidated
     condensed balance sheets at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, iii) the
     consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended
     June 30, 1999 and 1998, and iv) the consolidated condensed statements of
     shareholders' equity at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.


2.   Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period
     by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period,
     or 27,001,000 and 27,818,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
     1998 and 27,033,000 and 27,864,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
     and 1998, respectively. For purposes of calculating "diluted" earnings per
     share, net income is divided by the total of the weighted averaged shares
     outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options
     ("common stock equivalents"), or 27,092,000 and 27,998,000 for the three
     months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and 27,134,000 and 28,061,000 for the
     six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

3.   Accounting Matters

     Segment Reporting - We manufacture motor vehicle parts and accessories for
     sale on normal, generally unsecured trade terms to original equipment
     manufacturers (OEM) and the automotive aftermarket, primarily in North
     America, on an integrated one-segment basis.

     New Accounting Standards - In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 132,
     "Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits"
     ("FAS 132") and No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities" ("FAS 133"). Implementation of the disclosure requirements of
     FAS 132 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial
     statements. We do not anticipate the adoption of FAS 133, in the year 2000,
     to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

7.   Contingencies

     We are party to various legal and environmental proceedings incidental to
     our business. Certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary
     course of business have been filed or are pending against us. Based on
     facts now known to us, we believe all such matters are adequately provided
     for, covered by insurance or, if not so covered or provided for, are
     without merit, or involve such amounts that would not materially adversely
     affect our consolidated results of operations and cash flows or financial
     position.


8.   Forward Looking Statements

     Some statements included in this filing which are not historical in nature
     are forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
     Legislation Act of 1995. Forward looking statements regarding our future
     performance and financial results are subject to certain risks and
     uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
     those set forth in the forward looking statements due to a variety of
     factors. Factors that may impact such forward looking statements include,
     among others, changes in the condition of the industry, changes in general
     economic conditions and the success of our strategic and operating plans.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The second quarter of 1999 again proved to be a record quarter, as unit
shipments of aluminum road wheels to original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
increased approximately 20% versus 1998 to an all-time high for a quarter. This
contributed to record revenues for a quarter of $155.0 million. Accordingly, net
income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $19.2 million also set a
record for a second quarter and net income per diluted share of $0.71 tied the
record set in the fourth quarter of 1998.

OEM unit shipments increased 19.7% over the same period a year ago, exceeding
the 12.3% growth in North American vehicle production for the period, suggesting
further gains in market share. Our consolidated net sales increased $16.9
million, or 12.2%, to $155.0 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $138.1
million a year ago, which quarter was affected by the United Auto Workers' (UAW)
strike in early June against General Motors (GM). OEM net sales increased $19.2
million, or 15.0%, to $147.7 million compared to $128.5 million in 1998. Sales
dollars were reduced by lower passed through aluminum selling prices during the
period. For the model year 1998, industry-wide aluminum wheel installation rates
rose to 53%, continuing a long-term upward trend. Unit shipment increases were
experienced in both passenger car and light truck styles and unit shipments to
international customers again approximated 10% of total OEM unit shipments. Net
sales of our automotive aftermarket products decreased $2.3 million, or 24.1%,
to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 1999 from $9.6 million a year ago, as
consolidation of the customer base continues to impact sales. We are currently
reviewing our marketing strategy alternatives for these products.

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased $17.4
million, or 6.4%, to $291.9 million from $274.5 million a year ago. OEM net
sales increased $22.9 million, or 9.0%, to $278.3 million from $255.4 million in
1998, as unit shipments increased 14.1%. The increased unit shipments translate
to lower increases in sales dollars because of lower aluminum prices. For the
six months ending June 30, 1999, net sales of automotive aftermarket products
decreased $5.5 million, or 29.0%, to $13.6 million from $19.1 million a year
ago, for the reasons mentioned above

Gross margin for the quarter increased to $34.0 million, or 21.9% of net sales,
compared to $23.4 million, or 17.0% of net sales, for the same period a year
ago. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, the gross margin increased to
$62.6 million, or 21.5% of net sales from $48.3 million, or 17.6% of net sales
in 1998. The increased gross margin in both the three and six month periods of
1999, was due principally to higher utilization rates at our OEM wheel plants,
the improved profitability of the chrome plating facility and the gross margin
percentage improvement caused by the lower pass-through aluminum pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1999 were
$5.2 million, or 3.4% of net sales in 1999 compared to $5.3 million, or 3.8% of
net sales in 1998, which indicates a consistent selling, general and
administrative expense trend. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, these
expenses were $10.4 million or 3.6% of net sales compared to $10.7 million or
3.9% of net sales in the same period a year ago.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


Operating income for the second quarter increased $10.6 million, or 58.5%, to
$28.7 million from $18.1 million in the same period a year ago, due principally
to the improved gross margin explained above. Accordingly, the operating income
margin for the second quarter of 1999 was 18.5% of sales compared to 13.1% of
sales in the same period in 1998. On a year-to-date basis, operating income was
up $14.7 million, or 39.0%, to $52.3 million or 17.9% of net sales, from $37.6
million or 13.7% of net sales a year ago.

Interest income for the second quarter increased to $1.4 million from $1.1
million a year ago, as cash available for investing during the period increased
by approximately $22.1 million to $98.0 million. For the six months ended June
30, 1999, interest income was $2.5 million compared to $1.9 million a year ago.
Miscellaneous expense for the second quarter includes pre-tax equity losses
related to our start up of the fifty percent owned joint venture operation in
Hungary, of $620,000 in 1999 and $400,000 in 1998. Year-to-date equity losses
were $1.3 million in 1999 and $700,000 in 1998.

As a result of the above, net income for the quarter increased $6.9 million, or
56.1%, to $19.2 million, or 12.4% of net sales, from $12.3 million, or 8.9% of
net sales last year. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net income was
$34.7 million compared to $25.1 million in 1998. Diluted earnings per share for
the second quarter of 1999 was $0.71, an increase of 61.4% over the $0.44 per
diluted share in the same period a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, a diluted
earnings per share was $1.28, an increase of 43.8% over the $0.89 per diluted
share in 1998.

READINESS FOR YEAR 2000

We are aware of the potential for Year 2000 software failures and the associated
impact on business operations. We developed a plan that established January 1,
1998 for all integrated business software to be Year 2000 compliant. That target
date has been met, as a test environment was established and the programs were
activated in the second quarter of 1998.

Also, we have completed a company-wide review to identify and address issues
associated with the ability of our date-sensitive business processes to properly
recognize the Year 2000. This program is being conducted by a management team
led by a project manager reporting directly to the Vice President of Operations
& Quality. This team is coordinating the efforts of internal resources as well
as third party customers and vendors in identifying the various systems,
processes and types of equipment requiring analysis and, potentially,
remediation. The program includes systems, processes and equipment in all of our
domestic and international locations. The program also includes formal
communications with "mission critical" suppliers for each of our manufacturing
locations.

As of this writing, a detailed inventory by location of all systems, processes
and types of equipment has been completed. Currently, 99% of our mission
critical suppliers have responded as being Year 2000 compliant. A plan to test
mission critical equipment and software has been developed to ensure that they
are in fact compliant. Reiterative testing will continue through 1999 on all
systems, processes and equipment to ensure continued compliance. Additionally,
in conjunction with a group of our key customers, who are continually monitoring

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


and rating our progress with this program, we have developed contingency plans
for all mission critical processes.

Costs incurred from inception of this program to become Year 2000 compliant are
estimated at less than $500,000 and are not anticipated to increase
significantly over the balance of 1999. Minimal cost was incurred during the
second quarter of 1999.

We currently anticipate that the mission critical systems that we control in our
domestic and international operations will be Year 2000 compliant by January 1,
2000. However, no assurance can be given that unforeseen circumstances will not
arise during the completion of this program, which would adversely affect the
Year 2000 compliance of our systems. As a result, we are unable to determine the
impact that any system interruption, especially those externally generated,
would have on our results of operation, financial position or cash flows.

We feel confident based on reviews by outside consultants, that we have
recognized and addressed the need for making our centralized integrated
computing able to manage the business upon entering the twenty-first century.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to $41.9 million for the same period a year ago.
The increase in net income and non-cash items totaling $11.6 million was offset
by a higher funding requirement for working capital. Working capital
requirements in the 1998 period were affected by the GM strike in June of that
year and by receipt of a significant payment of accounts receivable in that
month. In 1999, working capital requirements were greater due to the record
level of sales during the period and to a significant payment of accounts
receivable not being received until the day after closing the quarter.

Our principal financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999
were to repurchase 404,900 shares of our common stock for $10.1 million,
pursuant to a 2.0 million share repurchase plan authorized in the fourth quarter
of 1997, and to pay cash dividends on our common stock totaling $4.4 million.
Similar financing activities during the same period a year ago were for $9.9
million to repurchase common stock and $3.9 million to pay cash dividends.

The principal investing activity during the six month period ended June 30, 1999
was funding $15.6 million of capital expenditures for the Chihuahua, Mexico
facility expansion and for modernization of our other plants. Similar investment
activities during the same period a year ago were for $11.3 million of capital
expenditures and $3.5 million for investment in and advances to joint ventures.

Working capital and current ratio were $165.2 million and 3.1:1 versus $144.8
million and 2.6:1 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, and
$144.6 million and 3.1:1, respectively, at June 30, 1998. Cash and short-term
investments as of June 30, 1999 were $93.9 million compared to $86.6 million at
December 31, 1998 and $90.0 million at June 30, 1998. Our cash position is
forecasted to be substantially more than sufficient to fund working capital and
capital investment requirements for the balance of the year.
