I got decent fireworks shots with the 18-55mm kit lens.

Check out the EXIF data in Flickr for more shooting information. I shot in Manual mode, with the shutter triggered with the wireless remote.

I'd say it depends on where you are in relation to the fireworks. If your not terribly far away and have a good view of the sky I dont see why you wouldnt be able to get some good shots.

A good starting point would be F10 and shutter of 10-15 seconds. Tripod ofcourse.

You can go to the fireworks thread and read the exif where available for actual numbers.
