The last front rim that I replaced due to brake track wear had gone a little over 60,000 miles. I use the rear brakes much less so my rear rims last over twice that long. Hubs and spokes are usually good through several rim replacements.

But that's for riding in a rather dry climate and with most of the miles on rural roads where there's less braking than on city streets.
