Soak it in household bleach overnight. If it's concentrated a few minutes will do.

Liquid plumber(or whatever it's called, the liquid you use to open drains/plumbing) removes plating easily in minutes(or even seconds) and leaves plastic unharmed. Or atleast it has never attacked plastic when I've used it... Better try it on some plated sprue first.

Bleach and ammonia work but they do not remove the clear coat under the chrome. Some paints sprayed over the clearcoat can have a reaction, I know in particular Testor's Metalizers do. Try using EZ Off oven cleaner it removes the chrome and clearcoat in about 10 minutes.

I use Fantastik spray cleaner, but like 935k3 said, some model makers put a clear coat under the chrome, It seems American kit maker's do and Japanese kit makers don't. To remove the clear coat just use the usual paint stippers safe for models.

wasted time!!
i took your suggestions and used chlorine (it was readily available to me) to strip the chrome plating. took about two weeks but it finally came off. since this was the revell itr rims i'm working with, you were right about the clear coating on the wheels, veyron. so i decided to use lacquer thinner to remove the yellow 'clear' coat left on the rims. i normally use hobby thinners for thinning paints for the airbrush and regular hardware grade thinner for cleanup. being careless, i used the wrong unlabled bottle (my own damn fault!) and within minutes, the plastic began to melt! waaahhhh!!! no more wheels for my itr!!!
 sniff sniff.... anyone want to share a set of itr rims to a down and out modeler? a.

c'mon jay, what's that all about? i used sunnyside lacquer thinner found at a regular hardware store. this stuff is not safe for plastics as i found the hard way. looking at the originall packaging, it reads "specially formulated for use with the finest lacquers and epoxies". this should have given me an idea of how corrosive this stuff is. trying to be efficient, i ususally pour some in one of those glue bottles. this time i just happen to pick the wrong one...
