realistate will be your first trouble. If you want all that, consider going for a hotswappable control panel. So you can add more things later.

Trouble you will have is making all the connections. You can use a special compile that allows 2 spinners / wheels on one mouse port (the normal mame doesn't allow this), analog mame is one of them (and I dont' remember the other).

Then you have to decide how your going to hack them. Do you already have the wheel encoders? If so, Opti-pac is great. Or you can build your own for like 5 bucks each. Or you can hack a usb trackball (and this allows for 2+ trackballs in mame using analog mame...)

last, consider 3 steering wheels... For championship sprint :)
