It looks to be the wheel protection bead that runs around the rim. I wouldn't think it would be a problem unless it goes further and deeper than what your pic shows. I would either trim it or glue it in place to keep it from getting caught on anything or maybe even making a bit of wind noise.

I have the same thing too, I was told to use glue to hold it down, as it is just cosmetic.
The sidewalls are very strong and you souldn't be worried unless the cut is deep enough so that you could see layers in the tire.
