Afraid not, but you don't HAVE to have EH2 wheels to have runflats if you want to change the wheels but still use a runflat tyre.

For those not familiar with what an EH2 wheel is:

the tyre stays outside on the hump and supports itself so that you can bring the car
safely to a halt. We call that our "safe stop philosophy".

I wan't to know these manufacturers that than i can send them a mail to ask if they
also produce other EH2 wheels for my mini.
Because now i have the 17" S-Spoke for my winter tyres. And now i am searching
for new tyres for the summer. And they should be EH2 wheels that i can fit runflat
tyres. And the other original Mini wheels i don't like them sou much.
I am searching EH2 wheels with a design like the OZ Superturismo GT wheels
