I bought my 79 new. I had it within days after it was unloaded from the truck. In one week the clear coating started showing signs of failure on one wheel. The dealer replaced the wheel. These are 8 inch gold Western wheels. After about a year or two they all started having the clear wear off. When I had the wheels restored with new gold about 5 years ago I noticed the original gold color was darker than it should be . It's funny that the gold got darker, you would think that it would fade lighter.
