Quickwheel, who do an invalable range of Wheel Masks, should require little in the way of introduction. However, recently the comapny has branched out into a range of AM Update sets in 1/35th scale under the brand name of BitsKrieg.
Currently there are 11 different update sets available - principally dealing with suspension elements for the PzIV.

Here's a good explanation of the company's objectives from them:

BitsKrieg is a new line of products from the Rossagraph/Quickwheel company better-known for its QuickWheel masks. The reason for creating a new brand was pretty simple: the products are highly-detailed, resin parts and conversion sets which do not have much in common with any kind of wheels, unlike Quickwheel. Even though the elements of the new sets are different, our target remains very similar: to keep modeling quality and resemblance to real vehicles at the highest level, while making it as time-saving and comfortable as possible at the same time. Recently released first sets are different varieties of suspension elements for Dragon's Pz.Kpfw IV, Jagdpanzer IV/L70, and StuG IV, and a "Saukopf" gun mantlet for kits the Jagdpanzer IV. The suspension sets contain special stencils designed for easy and accurate positioning of the dampers (with reduced steel thickness and detailed welds/bolts). All the first sets were prepared in the cooperation with ATAK Model company.

At the side are images of some VERY interesting FUTURE wheel sets - keep watching this space!

The Panzer IV upgrade set looks very promising, and I've assigned a review of it, so we'll have that up ASAP.

yep, the addition to the pz.iv sure looks great. should appeal to those with kits who aren't DML (I think most of their kits has workable arms)
