Depends if they've built the wall up enough.
Well mavic think they have, not sure why you'd doubt them.
Plus they'd not just squeal they'd barely work.
People ride painted rims (Archetypes for instance) and die only of natural causes. Did Mongoose use thick gloss enamel or something?

Do you not remember the Mongoose single speeds where they painted the rims.
And all the cheap MTB whose rims was painted black because it look cool.
They squeal and grind but eventually braking surface start to show.
Bit silly to go through this fuss just to gain that all-black appearance.
