Well you could hack an arcade wheel with an Optipac. Andy has a write up on how to do this on his site I think at
http://www.ultimarc.com/
Basically its a spinner with a big knob. Most mame driving games should support this and its seen in dos as a mouse, so you just have to load a mouse driver.
I don't know anything about useing a joystick in Dos but I would think if you had a PC steering wheel that plugs into the joystick port with Dos drivers that would be an easier route to go though not a very arcade authentic look or feel.
