       Alfetta wheels are a 4 x 98 mm bolt pattern and will not fit your 
Berlina with the 4 x 108 mm bolt pattern.  Hope the wheels were on your friend's 
spider.
       Test fit for offset.  Hard to tell by email it they will work or not, 
especially since you did not measure and report the offset.  My experience 
with BWA wheels is they have quite a bit different offset than stock wheels.  
That is, the tires fit closer to the fenders.
