Do Run Flat Tires have Special Rims?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't figured out if there is a way to search the forums, So here goes.......

I just bought my Mini this past december and have finally finished reading the owners manual. I have 16 inch wheels with run flats, when they wear out I do not want to reinstall the Continental run flat tires, just install regular tires. Will this be possable or will I need to replace the rims?

You can run regular tires on OEM wheels.
