Rocket League is one of the premier games when it comes to cosmetics and customization. The game has been around since 2015 and since then Epic Games / Psyonix has added thousands of cosmetics to the game. When we think about the best items in Rocket League, we are judging based on looks, rarity, and price. Let’s take a look at our picks for the best items you need to own in Rocket League.

This is the car body that every competitive player dreams of.

There are a ton of paint finishes in Rocket League but we think if you had to choose just one it should be Planetarium. This Season 5 Rocket Pass reward is an excellent item to have in your collection because it can be used on any vehicle.
Pyrrhos: Inverted Wheels
Every Rocket League fan would love a set of these wheels.
- PC: 200 - 300 credits

The Gold Rush rocket boost is an alpha reward item that was given to players who participated in the Rocket League alpha. Due to Rocket League’s relative obscurity at the time, not many alpha testers received the Gold Rush which now makes it one of the most valuable items in the game.
Titanium White Apex Wheels
These wheels are a lot more expensive than they look.

Turn your vehicle into a cosmic goal-scoring machine.
- PC: 1400 - 1500 credits
- PSN: 750 - 850 credits
- Xbox: 900 - 1000 credits

The Interstellar decal is one of the most unique skins you can purchase through blueprints in the RL item shop. This cosmetic item also comes available in painted versions which shouldn’t be too hard to trade for considering their availability.

You will never get sick of scoring goals with this explosion.
- PC: 750 - 850 credits
- PSN: 700 - 800 credits
- Xbox: 1400 - 1500 credits

Rock shades on the pitch like a true Rocket League garage icon.
- PC: 250 - 350 credits
- PSN: 350 - 450 credits

- Switch: 400 - 500 credits
The Pixelated Shades: Multichrome were added to Rocket League in March of 2023 as part of the Fornax item series. This exotic rarity topper is a vibe and we love how they add to a car’s design without overpowering the overall aesthetic.
Mage Glass III Antenna
Rock shades on the pitch like a true Rocket League garage icon.
- PC: 50 - 70 credits
- PSN: 80 - 100 credits
- Xbox: 100 - 150 credits

Many players do not use antennas on their cars, but we think you should consider the Mage Glass III for your next preset. Epic Games knocked it out of the park with this antenna and if you completed part 59 of Rocket Pass season 1 then you already own this beauty.
Zomba Wheels
These classics are a kaleidoscope of colors.
- PC: 50 - 70 credits
- PSN: 80 - 100 credits

Octane Huntress Decal
The Huntress series of decals is a must-have for any design enthusiasts.
- PC: N/A credits
- PSN: N/A credits
- Xbox: N/A credits
- Switch: N/A credits
The Octane Huntress decal was a Season 5 Rocket Pass reward that cannot be traded for or purchased with blueprints. Huntress is available for other cars like the Fennec and the Dominus so don’t worry if you missed out on your chance for the Octane version.
