Aragost, look back to the beginning of the thread, and you will see that it DOES NOT clearly state Balrogs had wings.
Quote:

And the shadow about it reached out LIKE two vast wings

This does not mean Balrogs had wings. That is used as a simile, to create a better picture.
This is the quote I assume you were referring to:
Quote:
|
And it's wings were spread from wall to wall
|
After the previous quote, this could just be an extension of the aforementioned simile. It's not hard evidence for the Balrogs having wings.
Now read the rest of the thread and see what others have to say on it. I just wanted to make those two points clear.
