Ok so I bought a pair of 172 Line Chronic Blends and I got Look PX 12 jib bindings. The skis have a 90mm waist and the Look PX12 jibs dont fit them. Should i bend them or get wide brakes?

First of all, they are brakes...not breaks.
And second, yes...those wide brakes will fit the PX/Axial2 bindings.

So would it be a smarter idea to shell out 50 bucks and get wide brakes or bend the normal brakes?

Eh, depends on how much you have to bend them, and if you have access to the right tools (long pipe for leverage, bench vise, torch/heatgun)  I'd try to bend them first, if you break them or something, you'll just end up getting the widebrakes anyway, and if you can bend them, you save yourself $50.
