EXHIBIT 23.1


                          Independent Auditors' Consent

The Board of Directors
Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc.

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

Our report dated March 31, 2003, except note 20 which is dated May 12, 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.
