I never have had the Rizoma's folded in I have only had them out. The mirrors seem to be a little convex so you get a wide field of view. They also have a little bit of tint to the mirror also so no annoying glare. I can see several lanes wide a car length or two behind me and I don't have to hunt to find a good view in them like smaller mirrors. Plus I think they add to the "street fighter" look of the bike. They are a little steep in price but when I first saw them on a S3 I knew those were the ones I wanted. Any way you go I'm sure they will be better that the stock mirrors.
