In a world without obstacles, would life evolve wheels?

Imagine a planet whose surface is perfectly spherical, without any kind of obstacles anywhere. In such a world, it would be a competitive advantage for any lifeform to evolve wheels, as transport and logistics would be greatly increased. It could also be used secondarily as a dynamo that could generate energy. The possibilities are endless.
Is it possible for life to evolve wheels in such a situation?
EDIT: there can of course be lakes/seas on the surface of the planet. The solid surface however, is completely level.
