Agree with velma. I actually think the 11" wodent wheel would take up less space than the 10.5" california wheel, as the wodent wheel is slimmer and quite compact generally. I would go with the 11" wodent wheel, which is a good size for a Syrian hamster. The California wheel is supposed to be great and silent, but does take up a lot of space - it's quite deep including the depth of the wheel itself and the depth of the stand.

You are right, 12" wheels are huge! It isn't just the extra inch in height, they tend to be very deep as well. The 11" wodent wheel is 7cm deep and about 30cm high. I'd go for that one. We have the bigger 12" wobust wheel (unfortunately our large syrian was just a bit too bit for the 11"!!!!!) and I like it. Quiet and runs well. I think they work best hung upside down, but are fine anyway without that.
