one question... Whats the width of the rim? and what size tire did you go with... It almost looks like the tire isnt quite wide enough for the rim, but that may just be the brand of tire... some don't have a very "straight" sidewall.

Now how did you see it from that picture! But you are right, the tire could be a little wider, but I bought it as a package, the tires are 225/45/r something (or close to it, I will check later, but I posted it on Bstuff before I bought and people said it was the right size for 18s for a beretta. But its not very noticable and I dont mind it.

yeah its the right size but do yo have a 8 inch wide rim?? If so you should have done a higher width and lower sidewall percentage and then you would have ended up with the same diameter tire... Profile is percentage of width so wider then you can have less "profile" and its essentially the same.

I bought it as a package so thats how it came, I don't really mind it though, is there any downsize to it? besides that fact that it kinda looks a little like htat

Only possible issue, is the fact that there is no tire there to protect against possible curb rash... and a bead could let go since they are already stretched out, but I doubt that will happen.  You should be fine.  I've seen MUCH worse setups than that.
