No, not really, but yes I can see the association between Italians in the US and chavs. Chav girls tend to have hair pulled back very tight in ponytails and probably their number one fashion accesory is a pram!
Having cheked out a wikipedia thing about Chavs, it gave a few north american terms which are meant to be similar. A lot of them aren't really similar, but "Hoodsie" (for chav girls) and "white trash", could be seen as similar.
EDIT: Apparently "Guidos" is another good term.
