Hamster Heaven owners?

Do any of you use a Hamster Heaven? I want to get a new wheel for Domino, he's grown so much since we got him. I was looking at a 12" silent spinner, but after waving a 12" ruler around inside Domino's cage... I'm wondering how do you fit those things in?! It would be much bigger than the wheel he has now, which is on a stand. I wondered about fixing the new wheel to the bars but there isn't much wall space in the Hamster Heaven because of the shelves.
Thoughts? Experience? Thanks in advance

I got my mum a 29 cm Karlie wheel for her hammy Rosie (who is in a slightly bigger cage) but I wonder if you can attach it the same way- to the roof?

I just used some large washers

I've also previously attached cages with stands to the roof and side of the cage using cable ties.

We're going to do this with Harry's new wheel, but putting a hole in each corner of the flat base and bolts through with wing nuts on.

Genius! Attach it to the roof! Thanks guys

I got a new wheel today and I've cable tied it to the roof bars, I just managed to fit it in! It wouldn't have gone on a wall anywhere and I'm sure it wouldn't have occurred to me to suspend it, so thank you both for the advice.
Domino loves the new wheel, he kept jumping in and spinning it while I was trying to put it up. He can really stretch out when he's running now, he looks great in it
