When to replace your rotors?

Hey guys.
 
When should i be replacing my rotors? If there are no noticeable cracks, what is the minimum thickness until i need them replaced. Ive read somewhere the minimum thickness is engraved into the edge of the rotor. But maybe its not the case with the DBA rotors i have. Keep in mind i have late model rotors so they will be,
  • Front - 275mm x 30mm
  • Rear - 281mm x 22mm
Thanks all :)

    I found this for SW20's.
    Looks like -1 mm for rears and -2 mm for fronts is allowable.

    is there a noticeable lip near the outer edge? 
    when you can't slide the caliper up because the pad fouls that lip, then you need new rotors :)
