Oh my. The wheel is worse than I first thought!
8" is way too small, do you see his back is arched? It should be completely straight or he will get back problems.
This wheel is probably the worst on the market not just because of size!
The metal rungs and bad on hammys feet and can cause a condition called bumble foot, which gives the ham sore swollen feet. All wheels and all walking surfaces of a cage should be solid. No metal bars.
Also hammy could get his leg caught between the metal bars and might break his leg, at worst it might have to be amputated.
The way the stand goes though the middle and back and down on either side isn't so good either! Hammy can hurt himself there too! If he gets caught there while the wheel is spinning the metal side bars could cause real issues, even death.
Wheels should be 12" for Syrians (minimum!), it should be solid with a solid running area and have a back to it.
How much do you want to spend? You can buy a relatively large wheel for cheapish but it might get squeeky! Which really does get annoying. Believe me!
I spent around £25 on my hamster's 12" silent spinner. I know that sounds expensive, but to me it's worth it!
 
Let me link you some different wheels that will be ok, of varying price and quality, but all safe and suitable, It's up to you to pick which one you would like following the rules.
Kaytee 12" basic
I have this silent spinner 12"
Sorry it's a UK link, but this is an idea for a style of wheel
These ones from Etsy are available in the USA and people really like them
The right size silent spinner at PetSmart
 
So remember the three rules!
 
Hope this helps!
It’s this wheel , but he chewed the cork out of the inside - it’s smooth wood underneath
There is no way the degus can avoid each other if they want to so please add a full level with 2 holes as passages.
Also Degus need wheels. Get one asap.

Will do but won't last. I've reinforced ours with an additional layer of wood glued at the front. A wheel is the single most used and loved item by Degus.
I brought this wheel here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008H2VG0G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - would definitely recommend, its so quite all you can hear is the pitter patter of hamster feet

Amazon uk, they do a 22inch version as well. Hamster loves it and it has been great. Would recommend.
