Is there a general rule for how much material a brake rotor will have before hitting it's minimum thickness? I'm looking at a set of used rotors, the min. thickness is 4.5mm and they measure 5.2mm. I guess I don't know if that means they're almost worn out, or have plenty of life left.

I haven't yet heard of anyone wearing them out in normal use. You can still destroy them with worn out pads (metal on metal) or warp and crack them with heat from sticking calipers (rebuild your brakes, folks). But I've never heard of them being worn too thin. If they get gouged, it's probably cheaper to buy a used replacement than have them turned and approach minimum thickness that way.Dogma
