Sadly, not really an option in the i3, which is my daily.
You have the wheels and tires I want for my 1958 Beetle.

The 5-panel mirror lines up with the sun visor mounts in a Beetle/Type III. There existed a 3-panel version.

"$20.95, as low as $0.97/month"

They have 4 and 3-panel mirrors, but only in billet aluminum for ~$250.

No pictures, but my 1961 Panel Van had a chrome pyramidal flat inside mirror, so I got two chrome pyramidal convex mirrors for the outside and welded nuts onto the ends of the mirror arms. IIRC 3x5 with rounded corners (the inside mirror had square corners.

They matched pretty well and the convex part worked well with the restricted view out the [small] back window.
