The wheel would have to be enormous or you will get motion sick because your heads angular velocity is different from your feed and even moving around slowly and turning your head would cause you to throw up. The wheel would probably have to be a few kilometers in diameter. Completely impractical if you ask me.
Naah... Building megastructures in space is a piece of cake. Literally. We would be in microgravity, correct? Hence, while building the structure, we would just have to ensure that every unit area of the surface of this cylinder can resist a centrifugal force of 1G. This is akin to building a very large single story building.
The hurdle here is getting the raw material for building this. We would need lunar mines for this to be possible at least in the Terran/Lunar orbit. Now, establishing mines on the moon would be complicated initially. However, once we do that, the universe is ours, literally.
