Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the divine energy within yourself, causing your eyes to turn into pools of darkness and two skeletal, ghostly, flightless wings to sprout from your back.". The third option doesn't seem to include wings: "Radiant Consumption. Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the divine energy within yourself, causing a searing light to radiate from you, pour out of your eyes and mouth, and threaten to char you." The pics I've spotted are presumably of aasimar who have activated their transformation ability and I've just assumed they're always there! Still, looks like the ability to show wings of some sort would be a prerequisite for having aasimar in game, but I was right about that for the wrong reasons so don't really deserve credit for it grin.

Larian studios has taken some artistic liberties with other races appear Tieflings I think, to give them a distinct feel, I could see them doing so with Aasimar as well, especially when in 3.5 with the right feat, you could have an Aasimar with wings.

Either way the tag and voice line tells the tale.
