Help me find some wheels!?

I need to replace the rear wheel (700c) of my Genesis Croix de Fer 2015 because the hub got damaged.

The bike has 35mm wide tyres, TRP Hy/Rd-C with 6-Bolts discs, 10-speed Tiagra cassette, Joytech RCC 6-Bolt hub (which exploded), Alex Rims Draw 1.9P 622X19. It is a bit like a MTB setup on a road bike.

I can only find wheels with Shimano center lock, which does not fit my 6-bolts rotors. I am not sure an adapter would fit (hard to find anyway) and I am not sure if purchasing center lock rotors would work either.

Something like Kinesis Crosslight Disc V3 would be a perfect replacement but sadly they've been updated to V4 (center lock).

Sadly I can only shop online without seeing anything.

They make an adapter.

Adapter or, switch to centerlock rotors. I HATE 6 bolt after using centerlock, it is much easier to deal with, and lighter.

Adapters cost nearly the same as new rotors, so I would need to purchase two new disc rotors, which I find very confusing (and stupidly expensive, there's nothing wrong with my 6-bolt rotors).

For example what's the difference between these two rotors, one seems to get locked with a cassette tool, the other with a BB tool.

The $500 American Classic TCX Disc Tubeless wheelset is 6-bolt and sounds appropriate for the application.

I was looking in the wrong categories!! i.e. 700c wheels. Since I am used to road bikes and did not think that this one I have now uses what they call "29er" wheels. All of them have 6-bolts, plenty of choice apparently.
