i was going to lathe off the outer lip and re weld a wider inner lip on but i want to find a set of steels that i like the look of first, so far its g60 golf steels top of the list

Are you intending on doing this your self??!! Welding wheels should be left to the pros mate, really. Well IMO, not doubting your welding skills, but you would want them bob on.

Also i thought G60's came with alloys?!

Good luck with it all though, banded steels look good.

G60`s had a set of steels for winter iirc, my mate has some G60 winter wheels on his mk2 GTi and theyre quite sexy for steelies lol

Qualified welder or not. I'd still get them done by a pro. You want zero mess up and a tiny bit of movement and the wheels will not be true. Not good when driving, tyre not fitted correctly comes off and you may have an accident!
