19g!!? That's mad. I guess I could also try and tap the axle for an M6 thread and use titanium button flange machine screws. Is this a thing @mdcc_tester?

titanium
I wouldn't bother with Ti, 7075T6 is strong enough, half the weight and quarter of the price. Neither is easily available in Torx, and both are easy to round out in hex socket form if you're either ham fisted or use poor quality Allen keys. Tapping QR axles for M6 screws is a thing, but it depends on the hub design being suitable.

You can get a set that are ~20g and as I recall they're not too expensive
e.g. you'd save 25g with these - look for a set second hand perhaps? Also depends how you feel about the slight extra time to pop the wheel out I suppose.
