FYI about OEMAcuraParts.com
Just a quick FYI for anyone planning on ordering wheels from OEMAcuraParts.com. The description says "Sold as a set of 4" but they will only send you 1. So the price you see is for one wheel, not all 4, despite the description on the website.
Learned that the hard way.
I called them to complain and all he said was "Oh well. That's a mistake."
Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Well I figured it seemed cheap but I also thought that the list price x 4 seemed way too expensive for discontinued wheels that are supposedly on clearance. Plus it said "Sold as a set of 4" so I figured it was sold as a set of 4.
Oh well, I will just have to do more research next time and maybe call the seller to make sure. Not a big deal, I can return no problem but more frustrated with the misinformation in the ad. Got my hopes up for no reason, lol.

On my car the wheel is not particuarly cheap ($528.51 plus $50 core) and there is no note about selling 4.

Why don't you return it and buy used?

Thats my plan now. The reason I bought these in the first place was because I was under the impression that the price was for all 4 which was a great deal, even cheaper than many used wheel sets. I am also super picky so trying to find used wheels that I like within my price range is very difficult

Wait, you actually thought you were getting four brand new wheels for under $500? 
Sorry, but the onus is on you for blindly purchasing, and not clarifying before purchasing. You failed.

There are plenty of wheels online that you can get new for around 500 for a set, these are new but have been discontinued for 6 years and are nothing fancy or special - why would I pay $480 PER WHEEL for that? Doesn't make sense to me. If the website did not say "As a set of 4" then I would take 100% of the blame for this, but they clearly said in the description that it was a set. This is also my first time buying wheels so I don't have a ton of knowledge about wheel prices to begin with. Whatever, lesson learned - but I don't come to this forum to be told that I failed, when clearly I am aware of that.

Yes, show me ONE quality wheel set for 500 bucks. Go on... I'll wait for you to post shitty, Chinese knockoff, with zero certification wheels. OEM Honda/Acura wheels are generally made by Enkei. Go ahead, show me four new Enkei wheels for $500. I'll wait.
Have you never bought oem parts before? Doesn't matter if they're old, or discontinued. Someone still had to pay to manufacture those wheels. And that someone is looking to recoup their costs.
While yes, they should update their website, creating threads to simply call out a vendor won't exactly work in your favor. These vendors go out of their way to give forum members discounts and what not, and then we criticize them for not doing more. C'mon man.

No I have never purchased OEM parts before. I just purchased my car a few months ago (first car, I am still in school and have not done any of this before) so I am very new at this. So please excuse my ignorance. There are a lot of people on here seem to be "experts" at these topics and I am not that, so I am sorry for not knowing - but is that not the point of this forum?
I just wouldn't want someone else who is less experienced, like myself, to wind up in the same situation.
