I wouldn't bother with that particular wheel or any Silent Spinner types.They tend to be poor quality and have a safety issue(it can come apart easily in most cases and that can cause injuries,although this is much more widely known within the hedgehog community than the hamster community).

I'd suggest a Silent Runner(12 inch for Syrians,9 inch for any other species).The stand is solid,the front is enclosed,and there's no axle which makes it superior to other wheels as far as safety goes.They tend to last a very long time too rather than stop working or stop being silent,so while they cost more than other wheels they're actually worth the investment.

8.5 inches is pretty small for Syrians by the way,I'd just aim for the Silent Runner in the 12 inch rather than take a chance on a smaller wheel.
