Disc Wheels

[Thomps]

I have a chance to buy a set of MTB wheels, but they're set up for disc
brake use. Is there any reason I can't use them with caliper brakes?
Also, are disc wheels inherently stronger/less strong due to their
different amount of dish?
Thanks all,
Thomps.

It depends on what rim the wheel is built with.
