Depends how generous we are with the definition of door. Do we consider any sort of opening a door? Is the way bugs get into the ground a door? If so, then doors. Otherwise it's probably wheels. I think the general definition for what we consider a wheel (without getting really loosey goosey like I was before) is much more broad. A door is something for a person to open and close. A wheel is a round thing that spins. Even if you're thinking something like "well, buildings have a lot of doors, and there are more buildings than cars..." Consider that a lot of furniture has wheels. Drawers have wheels. My dishwasher has a "door" but the racks have wheels. My office chair has 5, maybe 10 depending on how you count. I've got like four in the house I think. That's already like 40 wheels from just office chairs.

Same goes for the definition wheels, though. Do Flywheels count? Water wheels? Is any round object meant to rotate on a fulcrum fair game? Are tires disqualified?

Like, think about how many toy car wheels there are.

My point is that the natural, not trying to push the limits definition of wheel is already much broader than door.
