There is a routine in the Graphics`Shapes` package called WireFrame.
But it is not totally easy to use. You have to do something like this:
Show[Graphics3D[{First[WireFrame[Graphics3D[SphericalPlot...]]], axes
graphics}]]
I have a set of graphics routines, and a tutorial notebook, at my
web-site below which shows an easy way to do this. In fact, the
picture on my home site show a see through sphere with some other
graphics within. The tutorial shows how it was produced.
