No, but they are close. The spokes are slightly different. The center caps are different. Regal rims are usually chrome plated and charcoal gray or black. Chevelle SS wheels are painted argent and charcoal gray. Regal rims usually don't have trim rings and Chevelle SS wheels do. Not huge differences, but you can easily tell the difference even when they are installed on the car. Chevy only used the magnum 500 style SS wheels in 1969 and 1970. They DID use them on Novas, Camaros, and Chevelles though.
the chevelle ss 396 was the correct name and chevelle Malibu was a separate model of the chevelle.
