I'm currently selling my QRC2 crankset/chainrings and was asked by an interested party if the crankset and bearings are compatible with Italian threaded BB cups. I looked on Extralite's webpage and didn't see any mention of such cups being sold, but I do know one can sometimes find cups from other manufacturers that will work.

Anyone have an idea?

Try emailing Extralite by going to Contacts on their website. I'm sure they've looked into this before.

Short answer is no. I had the same question for them and Sergio's reason was because of the tolerances of the shell. You'd need a 2mm longer axle to make it work.

if they have a metal frame could they not face off 1mm on each side?

No point.
Different threads for one thing. Plus there is no bottom bracket made. It will work with BB30 and a couple of others.
