Joe, I have seen a few of these wheel sets before! lol

I love the look of these OMF wheels.

Those are really cool. 

While we're on this topic - these wheels come with SS fasteners, I'd love to lighten the hardware up - Ti + a good anti-seize interested me, but costly.. How do we think Aluminum hardware would work on these?  I was a little worried about the lateral forces of aluminum threads versus SS or Ti.. anybody have thoughts?

Personally I wouldn't trust aluminum fasteners for this. There's more than just lateral loads on bead locks, you gotta think about tightening up the bolts to seat the rings down against the wheels too which will put a lot of stress on aluminum threads. How much weight will you actually save from just a hand full of small bolts anyway?
