Welcome ryssa. There will be someone more knowledgeable than myself come along. I have 2 RT's myself and I would say they look fine; but, I'm pretty new at this tort thing myself. They will want to know about your setup. Lighting, water, substrate. Do you soak them?

Their shells look fine to me, they are not pyramiding or deformed, so I would not worry unduly..
As long as they are eating and are active I shouldn't worry..

they look fine. just might be that they're WC so they have a few old bumps and healed bruises and not ideally smooth, even growth. New growth that occurs will appear quite different at first.
