Let $k$ be a positive integer that is relatively prime to the order of the Weyl group of a semisimple complex Lie algebra $\mf{g}$. We find the cardinality of the value sets of the folding polynomials $P_\mf{g}^k(\mb{x}) \in \Z[\mb{x}]$ of arbitrary rank $n \geq 1$, over finite fields. We achieve this by using a characterization of their fixed points in terms of exponential sums.
