Ouch.
If you ride your bike on commuting duty in all weathers, then the back rim will wear in this sort of timescale, given wet roads a few times a week. (When I discovered the hugely accelerated rear rim wear in wet weather, I stopped using the rear brake except for emergencies or really steep roads.)
