You are joking of course
 rivets are used extensively throughout most aircraft both wing and fuz unless of course you are talking about composites and very modern aircraft .....if you are not joking then where do you get that figure from

Only bolts in the wing hold spar to fuselage and elevator to wing and also
flaps,boatload of cherry rivets hold the important bits on.

Cirrus SR 22 is plastic !
I think you mean what holds the wings on,they are still riveted together. A lot have "Jesus bolts". Jesus is that what holds that on.

I can assure you that large aircraft wings are held together with interference fit bolts, they are hammered in & have nuts put on the reverse side to a set torque. Having worked on the A380 wings I think I can assure you this is correct!

Grob use a method of a spring loaded ball bearing in a tube to stop the wings falling off their de-riggable aircrage. ie sailplanes. It makes the easy to take apart if you end up landing in a field but always at the back of your mind when spinning
