ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30,
1996

     The Company's net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased by
$94.0 million or 60% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  This
increase was attributable to the additional sales contributed by Motor Wheel
which was acquired effective July 2, 1996, and increased volume in both the
North American and European Aluminum Wheel groups.

     The Company's gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased
to $38.0 million or 15.2% of net sales compared to $22.6 million or 14.5% of
net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase in margin
percentage is attributable to increased volume and strong productivity at the
Company's North American and European aluminum wheel facilities.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses were $2.2 million higher
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared with the first quarter of
fiscal 1996.  However, these costs have decreased from 4.3% of net sales for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 3.6% of net sales for the current period
due to synergies being recognized as a result of the consolidation of the Hayes
Wheels and Motor Wheel headquarters.

     Amortization of intangibles increased by $1.2 million as compared with the
first quarter of fiscal 1996.  This increase is due to increased goodwill
recognized as a result of the acquisition of Motor Wheel.

     Interest expense was $18.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
an increase of $14.8 million over the same period for fiscal 1996.  This
increase was caused by increased debt as a result of the acquisition of Motor
Wheel.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company used $4.5 million in cash for operating activities during the
first quarter of fiscal 1997; a reduction of $10.0 million from the same period
in fiscal 1996.  This increased use of cash was caused by lower net income
attributable to increased interest expense and an increased use of working
capital due to additional facilities obtained with the acquisition of Motor
Wheel.

     Capital expenditures for the quarter were $16.7 million.  These
expenditures were primarily for additional machinery and equipment increasing
production capacity at our North American and European facilities to meet
future customer requirements for fabricated aluminum and FFC wheels.  The
Company anticipates that total capital expenditures for fiscal 1997 will be
approximately $77.0 million.

     The Company is party to a credit agreement dated June 27, 1996 ("the
Credit Agreement") with Canadian Imperial Bank of Canada of Commerce ("CIBC"),
and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (together the "Managing Agents").
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, among other things, the Managing Agents have
committed to lend to the Company $423.5 million in the form of a senior secured
term loan facility, such aggregate amount being allocated among  (i) a Tranche
A Term Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $198.5 million,
(ii) a Tranche B Term Loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to
$125 million and (iii) a Tranche C Term Loan facility in an aggregate principal
amount of up to $100 million (collectively, the "Facilities"), and up to $220
million in the form of a senior secured revolving credit facility (the
"Revolving Facility", and together with the Facilities, the "Loans").  The
Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and all of its existing and future
domestic subsidiaries.  The Facilities are secured  by a first priority lien in
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and its domestic
subsidiaries, now owned or acquired later, including a pledge of all of the
shares of certain of the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries
and 65% of the shares of certain of the Company's existing and future foreign
subsidiaries.  As of April 30, 1997, there was $420.4 million outstanding under
these Facilities and $220 million available under the Revolving Facility.

     At April 30, 1997, management believes that the Company was in compliance
with its various financial covenants.  Management expects that the Company will
remain in compliance with its financial covenants in all material respects
through the period ending April 30, 1998.
