Looking at getting a road bike with disc brakes and love my FLO 30s with White Industries hubs that I had built for me last year. Would love to get another set with disc hubs. Possible? Thanks.

Ask Flo. They would know.

Sure, just build it up with disc hubs. You'll probably want to up the spoke count from your rim brake set though.

I did. Sent them an email a little bit ago. Waiting on reply.

I sent them a message about the subject about a month ago and they replied with a "yes" and "maybe go for a higher spoke count." They also mentioned that they might have disc-hub wheels in the works.

Thanks.Yes you can, and as others have mentioned, your builder may suggest a higher spoke count. We also do have our own disc brake and track wheels in the works. We have received prototypes, and are testing/photographing them now. We hope to have them available for sale in the first quarter of this year.
Take care,

Awesome. I'd love to get a pair of FLO 30 disc specific rims. I've loved my rim brake version with White Industries T11 hubs. The ride is insanely smooth. Will be putting the disc set on a Breadwinner LoLo that I'm about to order. Can't wait.
