if you can't find what you need for the wraith, then they probably haven't made it yet

I just received a set of wheels from Mayhem Engineering...quality stuff! For about $120(shipped) you get 4 wheels, rings and hubs and all the hardware needed! Excellent bang for your buck! Make sure you understand that it may take 2-3 weeks for them to complete an order that they don't have ready to ship. If you need something sooner than that contact them before placing an order to see what they have.

I'm in the same boat as far as body panels...I keep looking at Carter Fab but the black panels are always out of stock

Just get the regular aluminum and paint them. Who cares if they get scratched. Scratches add character and realism

+1 on the Carter Fab panels. I'm a fan of Vanquish Products wheels so that's another option.

If you want to spend the extra money, get VP beadlocks. There really scale and of course strong..but there expensive as well. If you're handy then a sheet of aluminum would make good body panels, yes it requires more work but its cheaper in the end. Just simply cut the shapes out and bend them around the frame. I've always wanted to do this but can't find the time too..lowes has sheet aluminum that's really thin (can't remember the size sorry) but if you rather buy panels then you can either find them on ebay or RPP (as mentioned before). You could also look at lock-up-rc..they make really good beadlocks as far as I know. Hope this helps.
