Excellent, now I know what to get my wife for her birthday.

On a more serious note, wheel size question. I'm shopping around for some 15x8 rims with the 3.25" backspacing and 6x5.5 bolt pattern and I saw somewhere the hub hole size was mentioned. Is the hub somewhat standard? For instance, would something like this fit over the Montero hub?

In this case, Craig's List is your friend. A lot of Toyota 4Runner or Tacoma wheels will fit perfectly, along with Gen 1 or Gen 2 Monty wheels:

The 6x5.5 bolt pattern is common to a lot of Chevy trucks too, but the center hub opening is too small. Measure the hub opening, to get the minimum diameter, and go from there. I'd suggest sticking with 15" wheels, because there are a lot more tire choices out there, especially for one with little or no lift. All the wheels in the pics above were purchased off Craig's List, and they're stock wheels, so there should be lots to choose from. One man's stock takeoffs could be another man's upgrade!
