The 12" Silent runner is a great wheel - it might sound big, but it's also compact depthwise - not as bulky as silent spinner types. The 11" wodent wheel is good too, but the 12" silent runner is very stable and spins much better (and silently!). You can get either of those two online at exotic nutrition. The silent runner costs a little bit more than the wodent wheel but I reckon it's worth it. I've had no issues with mine.

Sand tracks aren't recommended for hamsters - they can get a nasty disease called bumblefoot. A stone or plantpot base under a water bottle can help keep their nails trim.
