Do rims wear out?

Group ride today and a friend commented that he had the same wheels as I do (American Classic Victory 30 alloy) and after a few years they "wore out." Apparently, according to him, the brakes wore down the rim walls to the point that they just folded! Mine are 6 years old, and of course, AC is out of business.

Should I worry?

Is this the excuse that I am looking for to buy those cool CF wheels?
