I remember seeing a reply on mytsn 710 forum about this. The answer was because there is no point of reducing "rotational" mass at the expense of strength when the mass is concentrated close to the rotational axis unlike lightening the 2 speed gearbox or the ball diff where the heavy parts are away from the rotational axis.

It does reduce static weight but what's the use when you already have a light car?

Titanium screws?
