I voted for no, because I haven't read anything that says that they have wings.
dido for me. we can talk all we want of doorways, caverns, dimentions, problems, shadow, smoke, fire, light sources, folding, gliding wings, wings but can't fly, one wing, how big the guys are, all these opinions, but nowere can i desern any mention of solid, actual, wings.

the only really important issue that i see is if balrogs are bound to one fixed state. if that is so, we are stuck with whatever the book says pertaining to wings. if they are not, than (i think) we can conclude that they can take whatever shape they want. but i've always thought they had one form, otherwise (if i was a balrog) i would transform and fly away, if i was menaced by such a power as gandalf, or ecthilion of the fountain.

so there.
