Both are correct, but we use wanted to show more politeness, especially if your addressee has a higher status than you or is a person that you respect.
Is just letting you know rude?
Yes it is correct and no it is not necessarily rude. For example I might say to my boss while processing a sale, “Just so you know, it looks like the inspection contingency on this is only 5 days instead of 10.” He will probably thank me for pointing out this fact because it is important and he might not have seen it.
When to Use wanted or wants?
Most uses of want involve the simple forms of the verb (want, wants, wanted). When we are talking about wishes or desires we can also use the continuous form (is wanting, was wanting, will be wanting).
What I wanted vs what I want?
They mean the same thing. “Want”- is present tense (right now) For example: I want an apple. “Wanted”- is past tense (before) For example: I wanted Lego when i was 5 years old. I wanted chocolate cake for my birthday.
