Wheels in Rocket League are a fundamental part of your car design. Check out my top 10 favorite Rocket League wheels to give you some ideas to design your car.

For the first few years of playing Rocket League, I rolled with the standard no decal octane player. Looking back now, Yes, I was one of those boring players who didn’t give a damn about my design. However, the wheels were the only aspect of my car I paid for, the black Cristianos. It was the only part of my car design I took care of.

After playing the game for over 5 years now, I have experimented with many different car designs and this list includes my top 10 favorite Rocket League wheels.

Just before we get into this top 10 list, for those of you wanting to obtain any of these wheels, I recommend using eBay through the link below. There are many trusted and verified sellers on the platform that sell RL items much cheaper than what you would pay in-game. Trust me, you’ll save yourself a lot of money!

My Top 10 Best Wheels in Rocket League

These are my top 10 Rocket League wheels as of January 2022. Let me know in the comments if I have missed any of your favored wheels.

1. Veloce

Rocket League Veloce wheels are available in 13 painted variations. This takes my number 1 spot since all 13 paints are a good fit for most vehicle designs. My favorite is the black Veloce wheels as it provides a stealthy look.

If you are interested in the car design above, the items needed are:

• Body- Octane
• Decal- NRG Esports team decal version 2
• Wheels- Black Veloce
• Primary color- N/a (same color for both teams)
• Secondary color- N/a (same color for both teams)

2. Blade Wave: Inverted

Again, you should definitely experiment with all of the painted versions of the Blade Wave: Inverted wheels as I love them all! The glowing, animated colored lines are what make these wheels so special.

Items and Colors used in the image-

• Body- Titanium white octane
• Decal- Stipple Gait
• Wheels- Blade Wave: Inverted in crimson
• Primary color- Red
• Secondary color- Black

3. Chakram Holographic

I cannot describe how amazing these brand new Chakram Holographic wheels look. Their awesome animation with a see-through look really makes this take my number 1 spot. I was always a fan of the standard Chakram wheels but these new editions are something else!

Items and colors used in the car design above-

• Body- Black octane
• Decal- Dissolver
• Wheels- Chakram: Holographic in burnt sienna
• Primary color- Dark orange
• Secondary color- Brown

4. Titanium White Zombas

It would be a crime not to include the OG titanium white Zomba wheels in my top 10 list. These white Zombas have been a fan favorite for over 5 years when they were released in December 2016. Now seems like a perfect time to pick up some titanium white Zomba wheels as they are almost the cheapest they have ever been. Here is why:

Back in 2017, according to RL insider, the price of titanium white Zomba wheels peaked over 20,000 credits. The next 2 years led to a slow decline in pricing but its price later crashed after the blueprint update where the removal of crates occurred. Pysonix shortly after listed the titanium white Zomba wheels on their shop for 1,000 credits, further crashing the price. But hey, who’s to complain? This means you can purchase these wheels for much cheaper!

Items and Colors used in the car design-

• Body- Black octane
• Decal- Octane: Fancy normal
• Wheels- Titanium white Zombas
• Primary color- n/a (same color design for both teams)
• Secondary color- N/a (same color design for both teams)

5. Pyrrhos

The exotic Pyrrhos wheels have an awesome whirlwind animated design. I was undecided between the standard Pyrrhos and the Pyrrhos: Inverted wheels to include with this list. I’ve gone with the standard as I thought the inverted version was over the top. Let me know if you agree in the comments?

Items and Colors used in the image-

• Body- Black octane
• Decal- Tidal Stream
• Wheels- Forest Green Pyrrhos
• Primary color- dark green
• Secondary color- black

6. Black Cristiano

As previously mentioned, the black Cristiano’s were the first-ever wheels I bought and the wheels I used for many years. Although they are no longer my number 1, I had to include them in this list for the hundreds if not thousands of hours I used them for. They are also further down my list because I’m not a fan of the other paints other than the black Cristiano.

Any Ronaldo fanboys out there? These are the perfect wheels for you 😉

Any Messi fanboys out there, I think we should start a petition for some Lionel wheels haha!

Want to copy my car design? These are the items and colors used-

• Body- Black octane
• Decal- None
• Wheels- Black Cristiano
• Primary color- Red/Pink corroded metal (the bottom right color on orange team)
• Secondary color- Does not matter with no decal

7. Draco

Draco wheels have been around for more than 4 years and are still loved by the RL community. The car design used above is one of my favorite affordable Rocket League car designs. If you would like to use the same affordable design, the items and colors I used were:

• Body- Sky blue Octane
• Decal- Octane: Dragon lord in sky blue
• Wheels- Sky blue Draco
• Primary color- Purple
• Secondary color- Black

8. Reactor

The Rocket League Reactor wheels provide lightning bolt animations adding a snazzy style to your vehicle design. All paints for this wheel look pretty cool so have a play around on Bakkesmod for which is your favorite (Bakkedmod is only available for PC players).

• Body- Orange Octane
• Decal- Octane: Jetstream

Now I have cheated a little with this one! As some of you may know, black Infinium wheels are only available for Bakkesmod players. Also, please note that if you do use these wheels on Bakkesmod then only yourself and other Bakkesmod users will see your wheels. Players not using the mod will see your design selected in the game.

Items and colors used-

10. Z-Plate

The Z-Plate Rocket League wheels are the most expensive wheels in the game at the time of writing (January 2022). They are not available in any painted variations. If you get your hands on a pair of these wheels, you’ll be one of the few.

Items and colors used-

• Body- Lime Octane
