flats on aero rims? psi too high?

OK so a little while ago I bought a new to me Fuji (next 3.0) with areo type rims, they are Alexis (sp?) anyway I am getting flats at the spoke holes. when I take out the inner tube you can see the dimples where the holes are.

I plan on getting thicker rim tape, tonight, right now the original rubber band type rim band is on there.

Also I never really looked at the tires they have an inflation of 85 psi, of course I have been inflating to about 100, because of my other bike with regular old fashoned rims. To me 85 psi seems kind of low and might feel weird to me. I was planning on changing the tires next year, can I go to a tire with a higher psi? Or am I limited by the rims?
