Dezent dont do a pcd of 4x98 so they must be 4x100, you will have to get a set of locking wobble bolts!
Do they look like these
they are Dezent type T

Go to your local car accessories shop or which ever shop you know that sells wheels, and tell them you need locking wobbles bolts (not nuts), I think they only come in one size as they were designed for fiats (i think)just tell them what you want to do and should sort you out!

Deff get some locking nuts - McGuard are the best one's I'm aware of - they are insurance approved - I got some of ebay for £24 delivered but Halfords sell them for @ £30. They are top quality.

As far as I'm aware McGuard don't do wobblys unfortunately.
They are not just made for fiat's, so you need get the bolt spec correct, ie. thread, taper,length etc. They will no doubt ask you which car it is for, so they should be able to dtermine which ones you need (though they still got the thread length wrong when I ordered mine). You'll need 12 wobblys of course, and a set of 4 lockers, but depending on the area you live in, you might want to opt for two sets of lockers! Oh and the alloys you are putting on may be different depths to the std ones. So you may need to compare this too to your thread lengths. I know someone who put their std alloys back on using bolts bought for the aftermarket alloys, and their bolst weren't long enough to take the strain, and the wheel came off going round a corner!!
