Though it may last longer, I don't agree that it looks better. I've seen powder-coated SVX wheels and they lacked the depth the original paint had.
As for why these 'modded' SVXs are showing up on eBay, it's simple. Resale values plummeted and kids' parents are buying them up for next to nothing. The kids throw whatever garbage is fashionable onto them, then when the first big repair bill comes (either due to something routine or the neglect and abuse) they go up on the block.
