You are making your question impossible to answer, by not giving the 
right details.  If you show us code that uses wireframe to do what you 
want, surely someone could show you how to do the same thing in rgl.

That means putting together a small, self-contained example.  Don't post 
a vague description of your data and what you want, simplify your 
question to something we can see.

There are many ways to add a surface to a plot in rgl.  We have no idea 
which one would be appropriate for you.
