Let’s talk about the best wheels you can rock on your cars in Rocket League.
Rocket League is Psyonix’s 2015 super hit multiplayer game that combines vehicular gameplay with football (Or soccer). The game gained traction because of its unique gameplay mechanics and gained further popularity when the game went free in 2020.
As far as rules go, every game is pretty simple, you use your car to guide the ball into the opponent’s net to score goals. The team with the most goals at the end of 5 minutes wins the match. It is, however, a lot harder than it sounds.

One of the best features of RL is the fact that everyone starts each match off on the same ground. This means that someone who has been playing for 5 years will have no added advantage whatsoever over an opponent who has been playing for a month.
However, one thing for sure is that the person with 5 years of experience will have a lot more options for wheels, decals, cars, goal explosions to flaunt!
Rocket League offers a wide array of customization options for all parts of your vehicles. Whether it be your car, wheels, trail, decal, goal explosion, theme song, etc. So with that being said, if you’re wondering what’s the best wheels you can equip in the game, then look no further!
Top 10 Best Wheels You Can Get In Rocket League
Here are my picks for the top 10 best wheels you must definitely try out in Rocket League.
10. MTRX: Inverted
Quality: Limited
Release Date: 2 December 2021
The MTRX Inverted comes in at number 10 with its distinct circular equalizer design. The rim design along with the outer wheel design on this looks fantastic when you have a good decal to go along with it. And the animation on the wheel itself is also something to look at! But the only people who played RL Sideswipe back during its launch had a chance to redeem this wheel at the time.
9. Haunted Hoss
Quality: Wheels
Release Date: 11 August 2021
Originally obtained by reaching tier 64 of the season 4 Rocket Pass, the animation of this wheel is one of the sickest in the game. If you’re looking for a haunted car look then this wheel is indispensable. Moreover, it comes in 14 different color variants. Although I did find myself using the base one just because it just looks right.
8. Debutante Crystalized
Quality: Limited
Release Date: 15 June 2022
Coming in at number 8 is the Debutante Crystalized Wheel. It is another Rocket Pass item that was given in Season 7. The subtle animation in the wheels is a nice touch that goes well with the fire and ice design of the wheels. Additionally, this works well regardless of which side you are on. So you don’t have to go and pick a different wheel if you’re on the orange (or blue) side.
7. Equilizer Wheel
Quality: Exotic
Release Date: 4 December 2017
The Equalizer wheels take the number 7 spot. An exotic set of wheels that can be obtained via Blueprint/Drops from the golden item series like the Golden Egg 19 or occasionally through the in-game item shop for around 700 credits.
The wheels themselves are an absolute banger. The waveform visualizer on the rims of the wheels stands out the most. Definitely something to show off when you’re in the lobby with a few of your friends.
6. Buckboard Wheels
Quality: Limited
Release Date: 11 August 2021
At number 6 is the Buckboard wheel. I am not trolling, I legitimately think this very odd-looking wheel is one of the most unique-looking wheels in the whole game. Because unlike most of the other wheels that vary mostly due to their designs and animations, this wheel changes the shape of the wheel itself. And because of its thinness, it looks uniquely weird and eye-catching.
5. Zomba Wheels
Quality: Exotic
Release Date: December 7, 2016
The Zomba wheels were added to the Players Choice Series back in 2019 when Champions Crate was retired. Players can now obtain the Zomba Wheels in the form of blueprints.
In terms of design, if you wanted a clean look with animations, then there is no better Wheel than the Zomba. The wheel has a multicolor spiraling animation in its base form. If you, however, have gotten your hands on any of its color variants, then it’s a pretty clean one-color wheel.
4. Sanchez DC-137
Quality: Rare
Release Date: 23 September 2020
The Sanchez DC-137 is probably the most easily obtainable item on this list. As the wheels are under the rare category, you have a decent chance of obtaining them by opening rare crates or even substituting five uncommon wheels for one rare wheel.
Now the reason for which this is ranked number 4 is because many people want a good mix of both simplicity and design for their cars. These wheels can offer just that.
3. Goldstone Wheels
Quality: Exotic
Release Date: 7 July 2015
There are some items in Rocket League that are valued highly because of their price, and some because of their rarity. But the Goldstone wheels are famous for both. When the game had player-to-player trading, the wheels were listed with a price tag of 500000-700000 creds!
In terms of looks though, the goldstone wheel goes well with whatever decal and color you have equipped to your car. Although the fame it carries is the major determining factor that earned the wheel as the third-best wheel in this list.
2. Draco Wheels
Quality: Exotic
Release Date: May 10, 2017
One of the coolest-looking wheels in the entire game is the Draco wheels. The over-the-top dragon aesthetics are amazing. As the wheels themselves are encircled by animated flames and the rims have literal dragon heads attached to them that spit flames every few seconds. If that doesn’t earn this wheel the 2nd spot, then I don’t know what will.
The Draco wheels can be obtained through blueprints in the Golden Item series and occasionally through the in-game shop. Previously the item sold for 700 creds.
1. Cristiano Wheels
Quality: Very Rare
Release Date: 7 July 2015
If you’re a long-time Rocket League player then you probably saw this coming. The Cristiano wheels are an absolute classic in RL.
People often opt for the most basic of looks in Rocket League when they’re hellbent on winning. Some might even call them try-hards. Because they equip a single-color decal, with minimal distractions and that also applies to their wheels as well.
However, instead of taking any of the other plain wheels, players put on their set of Cristiano wheels to let their opponents know that they’re not joking around.
