EXHIBIT 23.1


                          Independent Auditors' Consent

The Board of Directors
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc.

We consent to the use of our report incorporated by reference herein and to the
reference to our firm under the heading "Independent Auditors"in the prospectus.

Our report dated March 31, 2003, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that on December 5, 2001, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. This matter raises
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In addition, our report
refers to changes in the method of accounting in 2002 for goodwill and other
intangible assets.
