The only difference is this: Style 810 and the "newer style" pic you posted have a 'groove' in each spoke. So it is recessed.
The Style 811 wheel is slightly different.. instead of a recessed groove, that part sticks 'out' instead of being 'in'. Look at the pic and you'll see what I mean.
I think it's close enough that nobody would notice the difference. The Style 811 wheel looks like something that would come from AMG anyway, so I'm not too worried.
I think I'm gonna buy a set of Style 811's and put my tires on them.. will definitely make the car look sportier, yet still have a classic/original factory equipment look.
Just looked at some black/black cars with both Style 810 and Style 811 wheels on them.
I think I'm actually gonna stick with 810 now that I think about it
The 811 looks a bit 'too' sporty for the car. I don't have the sport package so I think the wheels might start to look aftermarket as they're a bit sportier than the rest of the conservative car. The pointed spokes are what gives me this impression.
The 810 looks really substantial and more 'serious' while still having a sporty edge. I think it matches much better with the lines of the car.
On the long wheelbase cars, some rims just look too out of place to me. I think the 810 is a really classy elegant look with a bit of sport, and the 811 just looks a bit too edgy for that car.
Anyone agree/disagree? Feel free to tell me I'm off my rocker by wanting the 810's over 811's
I just put a down payment on a new s550 and i'll be picking it up in a couple days. (White/Black with P2/panoroof/Nightvision). I'll post pics after I pick it up.

It comes with wheels which aren't my style.
So excited!!!
What kind of wheels, are they OEM or aftermarket, and what's the condition/brand of the tires?
I might be interested in buying them for my "new S550 that comes with wheels that aren't my style"
Those wheels are crazy expensive and not great looking either. Sell 'em on EBay and get something you like!
Yup, my thoughts exactly!

I would but I've had enough of 3 pc wheels. I've had 3 different sets on my 7 series and they would always start leaking after a certain amount of time. Plus they were pretty soft and I ended up bending the Barrel all the time. I live downtown so roads suck .
I ended up getting my new wheels installed this weekend. I went with a mesh face concave look. It's has a graphite face with a polish lip. Hope you like it.
Good looking wheels but I would get rid of those chrome lists between front and rear doors. In my opinion just makes S Class looks too bling and cheap.
