                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.     Nature of Operations

       Our principal business is the design and manufacture of motor vehicle
       parts and accessories for sale to original equipment manufacturers (OEM)
       and the automotive aftermarket, on an integrated one-segment basis. We
       are one of the largest suppliers of cast and forged aluminum wheels to
       the world's leading automobile and light truck manufacturers, with wheel
       manufacturing operations in the United States, Mexico and Hungary.
       Customers in North America represent the principal market for our
       products, with approximately 10% of our products, on an annual basis,
       being exported to international customers or delivered to their assembly
       operations in the United States.

       We are in the process of expanding our operations into the aluminum
       suspension and related underbody components to compliment our OEM
       aluminum wheel business. A dedicated manufacturing site has been acquired
       and expansion of the existing facility has been approved. Senior
       manufacturing, engineering and marketing personnel have been hired to
       operate the new suspension business. We have won contracts to manufacture
       front upper control arm/bracket assemblies for certain 2002, 2003 and
       2004 model year vehicles. We believe that production of these products
       can begin relatively quickly.

       General Motors and Ford represented approximately 87% of our annual sales
       in 1999. The loss of all or a substantial portion of our sales to these
       two customers would have a significant adverse impact on our financial
       results until the lost volume could be replaced. We do not believe this
       represents a material risk due to excellent long-term relationships with
       both, including multi-year contractual arrangements. During the current
       quarter, we began shipments pursuant to the recently announced renewed
       relationship with DaimlerChrysler.

       The availability and demand for aluminum wheels are subject to
       unpredictable factors, such as changes in the general economy, the
       automobile industry, the price of gasoline and consumer interest rates.
       The raw materials used in producing our products are readily available
       and are obtained through numerous suppliers with whom we have established
       trade relations.


2.     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
       1999 Annual Report to Shareholders when reviewing interim financial
       results.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  JUNE 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)



       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, 2000 and 1999, ii) the
       consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2000 and December 31,
       1999, iii) the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the
       six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and iv) the consolidated
       condensed statements of shareholders' equity at June 30, 2000 and
       December 31, 1999.


3.     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 26,070,000 and 27,001,000 for the three months ended June
       30, 2000 and 1999 and 26,165,000 and 27,033,000 for the six months ended
       June 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 26,322,000 and
       27,092,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and
       26,349,000 and 27,134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
       1999, respectively.


4.     Accounting Matters

       New Accounting Standards - In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133,
       "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS
       133"), requiring that an entities to recognize at fair value all
       derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement
       of financial position. This statement was amended in 1999 by Statement
       No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -
       Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS No. 133" ("FAS 137"), and
       implementation of FAS No. 133 was delayed until years beginning after
       June 15, 2000. In 2000, the Financial

       Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standard No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
       Certain Hedging Activities (an amendment of FAS 133)". We do not
       anticipate the adoption of FAS 133, as amended, to have a material effect
       on our consolidated financial statements.

8.     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.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2000 increased $20.8
million, or 13.4%, to a new quarterly record of $175.8 million from $155.0
million in the second quarter a year ago. OEM net sales increased $25.1 million,
or 17.0%, to $172.8 million compared to $147.7 million in the 1999 period, while
OEM unit shipments for the same period increased 7.2% over the prior year to
3,238,000, also a new quarterly record. Sales dollars in the current period
increased at a greater rate than unit shipments due principally to the increase
in average selling prices caused by a higher pass-through price of aluminum to
our customers, and to a higher percentage of chrome plated and polished wheels.

The OEM unit shipment increase of 7.2% over the prior year compares favorably to
the 5.8% growth in North American vehicle production during the same period,
indicating a continued increase in market share. For the model year 1999,
industry-wide aluminum wheel penetration rates increased approximately 54%,
continuing a long-term upward trend. Unit increases were experienced in both
passenger car and light truck styles.

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $39.3
million, or 13.5%, to $331.2 million from $291.9 million a year ago. OEM net
sales increased $46.6 million, or 16.7%, to $325.0 million from $278.4 million
in 1999, as unit shipments increased 8.8%. As indicated above for the second
quarter, the unit shipment increase translates to a higher increase in sales
dollars because of the higher pass-through aluminum prices and to a higher
percentage of chrome plating facility revenues.

Gross profit for the quarter increased to $38.5 million, or 21.9% of net sales,
compared to $34.0 million, or 21.9% of net sales, for the same period a year
ago. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, the gross margin increased to
$71.3 million, or 21.5% of net sales from $62.6 million, or 21.5% of net sales
in 1999. The aluminum content of selling prices to OEM customers is periodically
adjusted to current market conditions to offset the related increased cost
component. As the price of aluminum increases, the effect is to decrease the
overall gross margin percentage, although gross profit in absolute dollars
remains unchanged.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2000 were
$5.3 million, or 3.0% of net sales in 2000 compared to $5.2 million, or 3.4% of
net sales in 1999, which indicates a consistent selling, general and
administrative expense trend. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, these
expenses were $10.4 million or 3.1% of net sales compared to $10.4 million or
3.6% 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 $4.5 million, or 15.5%, to
$33.2 million from $28.7 million in the same period a year ago, due to the
improved gross margin explained above. Accordingly, the operating income margin
for the second quarter of 2000 was 18.9% of sales compared to 18.5% of sales in
the same period in 1999. On a year-to-date basis, operating income was up $8.7
million, or 16.6%, to $60.9 million or 18.4% of net sales, from $52.3 million or
17.9% of net sales a year ago.

Interest income for the second quarter increased to $1.8 million from $1.5
million a year ago, due principally to improved interest rates from a year ago.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, interest income was $3.6 million
compared to $2.6 million a year ago. Miscellaneous expense for the second
quarter included pre-tax equity losses related to our fifty percent owned joint
ventures, start-up expenses associated with both our second wheel manufacturing
plant in Chihuahua, Mexico and with our aluminum automotive components facility
in Heber Springs, Arkansas and to foreign exchange losses.

As a result of the above, net income for the quarter increased $2.7 million, or
14%, to a new quarterly record of $21.9 million, or 12.5% of net sales, from
$19.2 million, or 12.4% of net sales last year. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, net income was $40.4 million compared to $34.7 million in 1999.
Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2000, also a new quarterly
record, was $0.83, an increase of 16.9% over the $0.71 per diluted share in the
same period a year ago. On a year-to-date basis, a diluted earnings per share
was $1.53, an increase of 19.5% over the $1.28 per diluted share in 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to $37.9 million for the same period a year ago.
The $5.7 million increase in net income was offset by a higher funding
requirement for working capital, due principally to increases in accounts
receivable and inventories.

Our principal financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000
were to repurchase 580,300 shares of our common stock for $15.6 million and to
pay cash dividends on our common stock totaling $4.7 million. In March 2000, our
Board of Directors approved a 4.0 million share repurchase plan, bringing the
total authorized since September 1995 to 8.0 million shares, of which 4.2
million have now been repurchased. Similar financing activities during the same
period a year ago were for $10.1 million to repurchase common stock and $4.4
million to pay cash dividends.

The principal investing activity during the six month period ended June 30, 2000
was funding $30.2 million of capital expenditures principally for the new
Chihuahua, Mexico wheel plant, the new aluminum automotive components facility
in Heber Springs, Arkansas and capacity expansion projects at two of our
existing wheel plants. Similar investment activities during the same period a
year ago included $15.6 million of capital expenditures.

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


Working capital and the current ratio were $179.6 million and 2.8:1 versus
$176.9 million and 3.0:1 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively,
and $165.2 million and 3.1:1, respectively, at June 30, 1999. Cash and
short-term investments as of June 30, 2000 were $89.4 million compared to $108.1
million at December 31, 1999 and $93.9 million at June 30, 1999. Our cash
position is forecasted to be more than sufficient to fund our working capital
and capital investment requirements for the remainder of the year.


CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company has foreign operations in Mexico and Hungary, which on occasion
require the transfer of funds denominated in their respective functional
currencies - the Mexican Peso and the German Deutsche Mark. In order to manage
our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, we will
periodically utilize forward contract trading techniques. We do not, however,
utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At June 30, 2000,
the Company held open foreign currency (Deutsche Mark) forward contracts
totaling $10.4 million with an unrecognized net gain of approximately $232,000.
