Do I need new chainrings?

Purchased a used Specialized Allez a few week back that has 1% chain wear. I just replaced the chain and cassette, but am wondering if I need to change the chain rings as well based on the pictures.

If it slips when you put high pressure on it (e.g. When standing on the pedals on a hill), then yes.

It can be hard to tell sometimes from photos, though those don't look too bad to me.

Small ring is perfect, large ring looks OK. If you get any issues, then do change the large ring, but looks OK. Chain rings are less critical than cassette teeth as the chain is in more contact.

PS, it's a standard size and cheaply replaceable, unlike some others, like Shimano hollowtech rings.

As above, large ring is showing signs of wear, but looks ok for the time being, unless you get chain skip when under power.

Thanks all! I haven't taken the bike on a hillybroute yet, so I'll keep that in mind. I may just swap it out for good measure anyways.
