Too fat to fly
I will admit the fanart design above is cute, but I still dislike the idea of Spike having wings.

I don't see how it would really, as he'd still just be Spike, but with wings. Sure Twilight's represent her new princess status, but other then that she's still the same Twilight. We rarely even see her use them nowadays.
I don't see how they'd benefit him, or symbolize what (little) character growth he's had over the past 7 seasons. It's not quite the same to me as say the CMC's cutie-marks.
I know some could argue all other dragons we've seen have them, but IMO, not all ponies have wings, so I don't see why all dragons have to. If anything, Spike would lose his uniqueness if he got them, (and be just like every other dragon) so honestly that's partly why I dislike the idea.
I like Spike the way he is, but I wouldn't mind him being shown to grow up a li'l, but wings would do nothing to make him "better" in personality, or physically.
Plus, it'd be a bit odd seeing a character so closely related to Twilight suddenly get wings too, and after all the "Twilicorn" drama, I can go without the "Spike-acorn" drama.
