Wheelset upgrade

I'm currently running a set of Mavic Aksium discs on my Felt F4x. They are the stock wheels and are equipped with 6-bolt Shimano rotors. I found a set of wheels that are setup with Shimano centerlock rotors, and come complete minus a cassette.

Wondering if there would be any issues running these wheels on my bike. I'm running TRP Spyre mechanical disc brakes.

Please confirm

You'll need center-lock rotors or if you want to keep your 6 bolt rotors, you'll need an adapter. They should just drop right in and the spacing should be the same. Of course, you'll need to adjust your calipers to micro-adjust to your new rotors but its not that difficult. Lots of info online on how to do this.

As mentioned, the new wheelset comes with rotors, it just lacks the cassette. I'm not looking to convert my current wheels, I'm looking for a fully built second set of wheels. Just wanted to confirm that I can run centerlock wheels with my brakes and without issue.
