GMG's wheel is being produced by somebody local to them, I don't know the delivery timeline.
Let us know what you find out. I'd really like to have a set for a couple of October events.

That is probably the whole center lock retrofit kit. They have available a centerlock retrofit kit for 07-08 GT3s that includes the hubs. My dealer said the full retrofit kit is $6-7K. He didn't have a price or part number for individual wheels at that time.

I can confirm this one. My dealer got an extra 10' GT3 on a trade (it is already sold) and I got to go through it. Sure enough, the socket is hidden in a compartment on the left side in the trunk as indicated in the picture.

Well, I am running into a lot of "Not Yet" and "Coming soon" replies. I am thinking it is just a little too soon and will leave this til after this season to decide. This way there will hopefully more options over the winter.
Here is a response from BBS I got this morning....
The 2010 GT3 is using a different center-lock system and different wheel. Germany created some sample wheels but went too aggressive and had to make some changes. We will have a better idea of what’s available near the end of September. The OEM wheel for that car is not produced by BBS.
Feel free to contact us if we can be of further assistance.

All John has to do is make another CNC program to drill the centers.
What I would really like to know is the width, offset and price for the new Turbo's optional center lock wheels. I like the design a lot more than the GT3 wheels, very old school BBS.
