Sprocket wear

This is a question for guys who wheelie pretty regularly. How often or how many times have you had to replace your sprockets(mainly the rear)? Basically how long should a rear sprocket last?

aluminum sprocket: once every few months
steel sprocket: once every season

those are if you're bustin out daily on them. then again, you'll be able to tell by taking 5 seconds and checking the teeth wear every month or so.

My last alum sprocket went a year b 4 I took it off to go bigger..it is still good.
The one on the bike now is 4 months old and looks like new.
Alum will last...keep the chain in adjustment and lubed.
All my riding is wheelies.
