Interesting you say they don't fit as that was my first choice....I've found pics of people who seem to be running them though

Not all freewheels work with Ellipse wheels. White Industries freewheel for example has a lip that extends beyond the threads towards the center of the hub, and when the freewheel is tightened down properly the lip ends up compressing the bearings of the hub too much and wheel doesn't spin properly any more. So make sure your the hole in your freewheel is the same size as the threaded part. BLB Superior for example does work fine on the Ellipses. White Industries doesn't work for sure, BLB Royal looks like it might not work and Dicta looks like it probably will be okay.
