It would take off. Thrust comes from the engine or prop and isn't transmitted directly to contact areas unlike a car's engine->driveshaft->wheels on road.

k, there's some friction from the wheels but the speed of the wheels turning is largely irrelevant. Thrust moves the air.

Look at it like this - the wheels are basically only there to keep the plane from the tarmac.
