Wheel Installation Kit for Konig Feathers?

I am ordering a set 17x7 Konig Feathers for my 06 MCS from Discount Tire Direct and while checking out, I have the option to add A Wheel Installation Kit.
It's basically a set of lug nuts for 45 dollars. Will my old lug nuts work? Or do I need to order this.
Thanks

No need for the kit, use your OEM lug bolts.

I had an issue with DTD when I ordered 16" feathers for my '06. I was very specific that I needed 14MM lug holes because they changed from 12MM in late '06. They sent me 12MM wheels and I had to ship them back. They wanted me to have them drilled out instead. They came through but it was a hassle... make sure the lug holes are the right size for your car.

I just got my feathers put on this morning. The best deal I found was Alta. Used my old lug nuts. Wheels came with center caps and hubcentric rings.
