I just went to lok at mine. Same thing.. odd. Why wouldn't they be black?? At least I cannot seem too well .. How can you see em without pulling the wheel?
I don't have the hardshell spare...just the one that came with the base...so, perhaps this is why you can see mine? I can see them w/o even touching the spare...they are just there! This is one reason I was surprised I hadn't noticed them before. Of course...it has finally been sunny around here, so maybe they weren't as noticeable on the cloudy days.
I was starting to wonder if, perhaps, they were holes to be used for the hardshell spare cover?...but, obviously, this isn't the case.
