Basically, no. Your 19mm (also known as 3/4") lug nuts will work just fine.
When I purcahsed a set of Kosei from them two years ago, they alos sent me a
set of the 17mm nuts. I didn't like them for several reasons. One, they
had less thread engagement than did my 19mm OE and aftermarket lug nuts.
Secondly, they were harder to torque proerly because the "flats" on the
sides were shorter due to their "stepped" configuration compared to rest of
my "straight-walled" nuts.
Honestly, beyond looking good I have no idea why they ship those POS 17mm
nuts with the Koseis.
