Default need Help with 5-zigen wheels! What bolts to use?

Hey guys I'm planning on picking up some 5-zigen wheels, the GN+ proracer ones to be specific.

I have a question on the bolts that are required. Can i just use my existing ones, which are the conical seat bolts. I asked the place where i am plannin to get them and said conical seats are whats needed, but i am not too sure about the sizing. I sent them another email but i was wondering if there was anyone here with first hand experience...

I've noticed that most cars that use these wheels have those lug nuts instead of bolts, mostly because these wheels usually go on Japanese cars. So will these wheels fit on euro cars? and also, will the wheel need to be modified? Any input could be great. Thanks!

Hit up a Discount Tire. They can give you new lug bolts that you'll need, in the proper thread pattern.

Those GN+ wheels look sharp. How much do they weigh?
