Decent light wheels will bring a bike alive once you're sure your girlfriend is good enough at choosing lines for you not to spend every Monday night truing out the weekend's rockgardens.
This cost me less than £200 a few years ago:
Stans Olympic 26" 32h rims (NOS from Merlin)
XT 10 speed hubs (new, eBay)
ACI DB spokes (21p each, Cyclebasket)
Michelin Wild Mud Advanced 2.0" Tubeless (CRC. Appropriate for the weather that winter, since replaced with Michelin WildGripper 2.25")
