According to https://lenovopress.com/tips0817.pdf

the latest supported ESXi version is 5.5

As your version is a withdrawn product I would not expect that any vendor would provide a custom iso.

You are right that this product has been withdrawn. But according to the VMware HCL, it is supported up to ESXi 6.0 U3:

VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search

And also on the Lenovo Compatibility Matrix it's listed for ESXi 6.0 U3 (Vendor certified):

OS Interoperability Guide > Lenovo Press

You should be fine with the general Lenovo System X custom image for ESXi 6.0 U3:

Okay. Good point. I didn't checked the notes on the Lenovo Compatibility Matrix.

In that case you shouldn't use the Lenovo custom image, but the standard ESXi 6.0 U3 image from VMware:
