This. All a manufacturer means by "disc brake rims" is that the rim either doesn't have the braking surface machined after the coating's applied to the rim, or doesn't have a flat braking surface at all.

Unless by "rims" you mean the entire wheel, including the spokes and hub, that is. If that's the case, for future reference, in the bike world "rim" refers to the bit of metal around the outside of a wheel, onto which the tyre fits. You'd be looking for a disc brake wheelset if that's what you actually meant.


Also, the correct spelling of the thing that stops your bike is "brake". I don't really care how people spell it, but googling the wrong spelling might be contributing to your inability to find suitable parts.
