Didn't the Seraphim have a set of six wings?

But are they strictly speaking angels (angelos, ie. messenger)?

You are correct about Seraphims having six wings; however, the same word is translated as fiery serpents in a couple other instances. So that would indicate they are not of the same order of beings as angels that appeared to men. There are also the Cherubims who have wings, but are referred to as living creatures, rather than angels. In fact, Lucifer is referred to as the Cherub that covereth.
