Those WX5s look a lot like the OZ Opera wheels. They've always been one of my favourites.

Looked that one up! They look very similar to what Mazda sold here as a Eunos (short lived Mazda equivalent to Lexus).
That version of the Statesman/Caprice is a bit bigger - equivalent to SWB D2 in overall size, with excellent rear legroom.
It's a long wheelbase luxury sector version of the VT Commodore, which is based loosely on a widened Opel Omega chassis.
Not a bad car for a Holden - most were fitted with the LS1 5.7L Chev V8. That one in the photo is supercharged and has 500 odd horsepower! (normally about 340)

I still have a 'Eunos Roadster' in the garage brought in from Japan years ago (mazda mx5 in uk terms) The Holden would go a lot better than the Xedos 9. It only had a 2.5lt 4pot in it.
