This might be a dumb question, but I have only welded regular steel myself...
I have "chrome" rims on my Jeep, could I weld beadlocks onto these & paint them afterwards?

you will have to grind all that chrome off first.

If you grind just the welding surface you should be fine , I have seen guys do this and you end up with a little bit of blueing in the chrome but it's covered up by the ring. If you were to spray the weld with some good primer after welding and then painted your rings some wild matallic color I think it would look good with the chrome rim. IMHO
