I think 15" 6 lug wheels with clips are near impossible to find. 16" 6 lug wheels were common (I threw out a set of them).
So, I think your options are: 1. Custom wheels as suggested in the other thread. 2. Attach clips to modern wheels (also suggested in other thread. 3. Modify hubcaps to fit modern wheels. 4. 16" wheels.
I have 15", 5 lug wheels from a 1970s era G10 van. I used the 5 bolt wheels since I have a Camaro rear end and front disk brakes. I am using stock hubcaps. I had to make some modifications to make the hubcaps work with the newer wheels which have "nubs" instead of clips.
