Not even close; even an electric car has far more wheels than doors. Every rotating mechanism is made up of wheels, some geared others with groves for belts to run in.

Even just considering the ones that you see, there are tires and hubs which (for a car) means there are 8 wheels and only 4 or 5 doors. You could count the bonnet (hood) as a door and make it 6.

But there are hundreds of wheels, thousands in an ICE vehicle.

A gear is not a wheel. That's why it's called a "gear" and a "wheel".
