They're definitely worn, you can see the valleys are getting elongated and the peaks are getting thinner. I always found it helpful to find a picture of a brand new sprocket to compare with. |

If you can, it’s best to replace both front and rear sprockets and chain together. Also, give your wheel a good inspection. It looks like cracks have formed near the visible bolts:

Good eye! I wouldn’t have noticed. That seems problematic. Does that imply I should get new wheels? |

I can’t say from the pictures but definitely give them a thorough inspection. Clean them until spotless then take a good look. |

Overdue, I would say. |

I don't think that's a crack, seems like a comstar style wheel, so that's probably just where the two pieces meet. |

Is the chain anywhere near needing replacing (any stiff links)? Usually you wouldn't change the sprocket until the chain needs to be replaced. I think I have read in the past that you should always do them both because as the chain stretches the sprocket tends to wear to match the stretch, but I have reused sprockets without any problems. Anyways it looks fine to me. |
