I'm piecing together a crankset with Red AXS arms, quarq PM spider, and a wolftooth 1x chainring.

Does anyone have a source on the lightest bolts to replace the 8 DM bolts and the 4 chainring bolts?

thanks!

Chainring bolts, any 7075 alloy bolts from Aliexpress should do just fine.
Or if you fancy yourself Carbon Ti bolts, same stuff as Ali but 5x the price. I ordered 6.5mm bolts but they are rather short with a Garbaruk 1x chainring, so waiting for 8.5mm bolts to see if make a better fit.

The 8 bolts holding the spider, why would you like to replace these? Weight, I mean... I do not think these would be the bolts you would try to make lighter. They are one of the most critical parts holding it all together. But if you wanna save 3 grams then titanium bolts would do with the risk of corrosion.
