Charlie Austin scored once and Matt Phillips struck twice as QPR came from 2-0 down to beat Wolves for their first league win this season.
Wolves led 2-0 through Benik Afobe's controlled, close-range finish and Kevin McDonald's shot from 18 yards.
Austin, a target for several Premier League clubs, started the comeback with a header from Phillips's cross before the break.
Phillips levelled from the edge of the box and won it with a 25-yard effort.
QPR had only taken one point from their opening two games following relegation and they owed their victory to two players who could leave the club this month.
West Brom still want Scotland winger Phillips, while Austin has interested a number of top-flight clubs, with QPR asking £15m for the 26-year-old.
Austin, who was the fourth top scorer in the Premier League last season, has now scored in two successive games.
Wolves had looked in control when a Premier League target of their own, Afobe, scored from close range before McDonald doubled the lead.
Boss Kenny Jackett confirmed after the game that they have turned down a bid from Norwich for the 22-year-old, who scored 32 goals in total last season.
QPR showed the top-flight quality they still have when Phillips set up Austin's goal.
The equaliser came when Phillips's weak shot from 18 yards eluded everyone and his winner from distance should have been saved by Emiliano Martinez.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett: "Benik has been very good and was a threat. Any conversation we had before the game was about the football.
"We're not looking to sell our best players and within two weeks of the window closing we're looking to build.
"We had good control of the game. QPR came back into it quickly and got the goal before half-time but the two goals in the second half were disappointing defensively."
QPR boss Chris Ramsey: "Matty is a match-winner on his day and he is someone who will always need marking.
"I'm really hoping we will have him but no-one can tell, people make knee-jerk reactions and spend money they don't have. I hope that will add another zero.
"I am very pleased with the respect Matt and Charlie have shown the club. They have been very professional in the way they have conducted themselves.
"Charlie is fitter now than the opening day and his hold-up play has answered a few questions people have."
