We experimented very briefly with Lexan threaded cups and threaded shanks with steel rims that were threaded, but the threads from the shanks to the cups were too grabby.

Personally, the only part that I care about being made of a metal which doesn't scratch easily is the rim. It turns out that the difference in cost between bars of steel and bars of lexan isn't all that much, and turning down Lexan makes a horrible mess, so it just didn't make any sense anyway.
I’m interested in a couple 32.9 mm #2 Lexan rims if that’s something y’all will be doing at some point.
