Hahaha, balanced out by the glove compartment!
This I thought was actually a really interesting thought exercise.
First I thought it was wheels.
Trains, cars, bikes particularly, Drawers.
But then I thought. In my house there are more doors. Mainly due to cupboards in kitchen.
Then I thought of office chairs.
But hospitals and hotels have hundreds of doors.
But hospitals have beds with wheels.
A typical car has 3-5 doors but 4 wheels. So probably a net insignificant number.
Bikes could (especially in East Asia?) skew it. But I still think doors may have it. Not everyone has a bike/car etc. But even some huts have doors.
I'm swinging to doors.

For me no.
I see a door As a physical entrance with something you can shut and open. Same way as I wouldn't count a cog/gear as a wheel.
(in this experiment anyway)
Wheels in a bathroom?
Toilet on a roomba?

Don’t forget all the round components in the engine e.g. cogs, wheels etc.

If Sir is referring to the song “Mirror in the bathroom”, I think Sir will find that was The Beat.

A pancake is round like a wheel, but you try and roll one down the road
It has to be doors. There's like 29m homes which each have two doors, mostly and doors on objects inside them.
32m cars x 5 wheels (assume spare).
I'd wager there are more than 5 doors inside most properties, plus cars have 5 doors anyway.. Houses don't have wheels. Doubt there's that many bikes to compete.
For every toy car there is a toy house, etc.
Doors win.

Houses don’t have wheel, but there’s an awful lot of caravans about. They normally have about 6 doors

door's just a table with hinges

What about windows?
I was going to immediately vote for wheels, given all the little wheels in machinery etc, then after reading through the thread I thought maybe doors if you start adding cupboard doors, then when people started saying windows were doors I was like, pffffff **** off, then I tried coming up with my own definition what a door and what a wheel was, and at the end of that I found I couldn't be bothered. So I voted couldn't care less in the end.
