Wow!
You may have yourself in quite a bind here...
I'm guessing you might have 63.5 TPI (French) or the TPI common to 120 spokes -
the larger cousing to 105 spokes. Where to get 15g spokes with Hi-E threading...me totally clueless.
Would standard nipples work? Might have to go that route unless someone else here comes to the rescue.

(Been ages since I've worked on anything other than 56 TPI)
