I was wondering if you had vs I was wondering if you have any

The phrases are both correct, but they would be used in somewhat dissimilar contexts. 'I was wondering if you had' is used when referring to a specific past time, while 'I was wondering if you have any' is used when asking about the present or future availability of something.
