Default Tire/wheel help

Hi guys/gals
New to tech board, usually on general but today I have a technical question( it's a technical question for me anyway!) and need advice.
I have a stock 98 coupe with thin spoke wheels and goodyear runflats (stock stuff) and want to get some nicer wheels.
Heres where I need you guys -I know nothing about wheel/tire ratios etc. and I want to keep the runflats, so what can I do wheel wise. The car is my daily driver, so I don't care (that much) about performance.
Am I limited to wheel choice because of the size of the runflats? Is Goodyear the only company that makes runflats?
Any info you can share with me will be of great help in me choosing a wheel/tire package.
Thanks in advance.
Gregg

Call the Tire Rack or better yet, visit their website at www.tirerack.com

There is a world of info there. When selecting tires, you can sort by runflats only.
