The invention aims to provide a low-cost high-strength thermoforming wheel and a production method thereof. In the early stage of product production, different process heat treatment tests of similar steel grades are performed for maximally reducing alloy cost, and finally the high strength of the product is considered to be required to have medium C content to generate martensite transformation to improve strength, so that the conventional medium carbon container steel Q345R is adopted for performing different process heat treatment tests so as to be capable of producing high-strength wheel steel materials through alloy fine adjustment under the condition of a low alloy component system and the additional heat treatment process. Sampling heat treatment simulation tests are respectively carried out on thickness specifications of 4mm and 10mm required by rims and spokes in wheels by Q345R, the temperature is reduced to 200-240 ℃ by adopting four cooling methods of air cooling, water mist, water quenching and oil quenching after the Q345R is heated to 840-860 ℃ and heat preservation is carried out for 20min, and then the temperature is respectively kept for 20min at 300-360 ℃ in a heating furnace.
