So The question is really whether the balrog had wings or just exerted a shadow-magicy-field-thingy behind him;
And I say, perhaps it is both and/or none all at once;
he could have had wings that were cloaked in shadows so that you could never really see the wings themselves, only their veil, thus accounting for the descriptions.
or
he could have had wings that were themselves shadows... either just in their non-light-field-type selves, or in a more ethereal shadow-rider-with-a-visual-manifestation kind of way.
and completely separate from that, the size of the wings is not a relavant point; if his wings were used to fly, they would have to be amazingly huge; keep in mind a bird has an ultra-light skeleton and feathers and a tail to help him fly; if a balrog was going to fly it would need all the help it could get, because no matter how you look at it, a balrog is big, and one would assume that it was quite muscular, so even if a balrog had a light skeleton, it would still weigh so much that it would need some disturbingly large wings. <img src=smile.gif ALT="
