These wheels are made for hermit crabs, and are 3D printed, they are not stainless steel. They are for baby hermit crabs, so they may be too small for your crab(s). Check the product description for sizes and see if it will work for your crab(s).

Here is a link to a bigger 3D printed wheel designed for hermit crabs incase you're interested:

You can also buy saucer wheels that are made for hamsters. It might make finding the right size a little easier.
120G with 5 hermit crabs, varied ages/sizes, most are jumbo by this point.
I have a bunch of other critters, too! You can see them all here:
