I can't say exactly how thick the rim should be. Here is a gadget that will get over the bead and will measure the thickness accurately enough. It is called a spring guage, not expensive, accurate to 0.1mm from jewellery tool suppliers. Useful for measuring any other small things.

You can compare your rim with others. My guess is I would be worried if the rim is less than 0.5mm thick!
