Ray, Yeah, that sidewall looks pretty thin. Oddly enough, on the photo with the white paper back, the inside of the rim looks thin, not just the outside. Especially below the bead on the section pointed up.
Patrick - am one that prefers bike stuff overbuilt, not under. Have had to learn over many years that heavy duty for some is normal to light for me. Always has worked that way. Not abusive, just fat. And well outside the norms for the average bike designer. Will fess up that my single speed is pushing the limits with 32h front and rear. Am hopeful of reliability, but won't be surprised if it isn't.
