Default 95 discovery... are aftermarket rims possible at all?

I have a 95 disco and I am dying to put rims on it... how can I do such due to the fact that the pattern is supposedly "exclusive"

Aftermarket rims are always possible. Just start making calls to makers of rims you like, tell them the bolt patter size, and they can make just about any rim fit. Its not going to be the cheapest route, but I have done it twice on my Fiats because of the rarety of the bolt pattern.

You probably won't be able to walk into Pep Boys and grab some wheels. But there are some out there. SafariHP had some but they're mostly out of stock now. Raceline wheels has some, too.

4Wheel Parts has the Pro Comp 87s as well for pretty cheap. I found a discount code and got 5 16x8 with 4.25" backspacing (website says 4.5" but they are really 4.25") to the door for around 400 bucks

Terrafirma makes a bunch of wheels as well. They have white aluminum rims. None of them are cheap though

Not all that exclusive. Any 16" Series, D90, D110, Defender or RRC wheel, back to 1948, will fit.
Only one exception I'm aware of that won't are the two part rims, not enough off-set to clear the calipers without spacers.

Be careful what you use. The OE alloys are the strongest OE wheel, second only to the Wolf's.
