Sky - the 737-800 has a significantly higher max gross weight than the -700, and hence the wing is aerodynamically the same but structurally different.
As noted, the 737-700 based BBJ has a -800 wing to give it a higher max gross weight, which is normally used in combination with body fuel tanks to give it longer range relative to the run of the mill 737-700.
