They wont be worn, it is practically impossible to wear a rim out in that distance. A rim has to have less than 1mm on the brake track before i suggest to anyone they should retire it as those last 0.2mm can go rather quickly. You will see tne rim go very concave when it worn. Id find another shop to do the rebuild they obviously want to sell you new rims.
