Some early disc brake wheelsets were built with rims that can use rim brakes. Lately, most don't have braking surfaces on the rims. Manufacturers want to take advantage of the opportunity to make the rims lighter and more aero, so their disc-specific wheels absolutely will not work safely with rim brakes. If you want to confirm, you should contact Hunt. Tell them what you want to do and see what they say.
