The black Varro wheels were purchased through a very helpful owner called Gavin Wallace on the Facebook Tesla Owners Group UK. He organised a special deal with the manufacturers before they started selling the wheels in the UK. I first heard about it on this forum in the thread titled "Wheel Sizes - Practicality" I can't link to the offer as it is a closed Facebook group, which you have to apply to join, and prove that you have a Tesla or one on order. The wheels were available in silver, gunmetal or gloss black, and 18", 19" or 20".
In September I paid £725 for the wheels to be delivered, plus another £180 for the four TPMS sensors in black to match the wheels. They were delivered in just a week or two, and i then took them to KwikFit to get Michelin CrossPilot+ tyres fitted. As other posters have said, the Tesla 18" wheels do not fit over the M3P brake calipers, and normal 18" wheels won't fit the Tesla Model hub.
Gavin did all the leg work to find a wheel that not only fits the M3P but is also much lighter, very strong and looks fabulous. He also made sure to identify the right type of TPMS sensors which work with the Tesla. I think he did all this to help fellow Model 3 owners and not for any profit.
I think the wheels are called Varro VD25X :
