Re: no wheel
What kind of kit is it?
It will take some lining up and eyeballing, but you SHOULD be able to glue the pin-less wheel to the brake disk. I would glue the disk to the wheel, and then the glue the disk to the rest of the suspension. If you can't do that, build the rest of the car, including the other three wheels, and use them to set it at the proper ride height, then maneuver the loose wheel into place and glue it so that everything lines up.

Re: no wheel
Well, if all 4 are broken and the kit is already glued up, you'll just have to eyeball it all.
Try this: See if you have enough material in the wheel to make a dimple or depression where the pin used to be, with a drill bit a little bigger than it used to be. If so, get some wire or styrene rod and put it in the brake disk, sticking out a little bit. Then use that as a guide to help center the wheel. It won't be strong enough to hold up the car, but it should provide a starting point. If the wheel isn't thick enough for that, prop up the chassis to the right height on something (Stacks of coins, balsa wood, etc) and then hold the wheels in place while you glue them. It will be tricky to get them lined up front-to-back in the wheel wells, but the car will sit flat-footed that way.
