There has been some mention of titanium. The latest contribution were about carbon fiber/Kevlar spokes. All very much on topic and appreciated.
As others pointed out, there are titanium spokes out there: TI-DYE High-end and super light bike spokes
I'd love to have a wheel or three built with them, but I doubt they're useful for anything beyond gratuitous bling.
