Thinnest ring system?

I just found a ring which was 1038.6 km in width (approximately)
I measured it by travelling perpendicular to the gas giant and parallel to the ring timing how long it took to get to the other side at 30km/s
To add icing on the cake it was a ring of a moon orbiting another gas giant with another gas giant for a moon (bit of a mouthful :p)
So does anyone know if this breaks any records?

Check out the ring inner radius and ring outer radius figures in system map for exact measurement.

This:

is partly outdated, but I think stuff like planetary ring records isn't shown anywhere else (apart from the thread in these forums

Oh ok I didnt know the radius was a thing, Ill check now

The radius is 1036 according to the system map so pretty close measurements from me :D

Aww, a guy found one that is 18 km :/
Ah well, still pretty thin by ring system standards :D

That...is most definitely thin.
