Neither! Use a Neutral Density (ND) filter, and/or a Circular Polarizing Filter (CPF) to obtain proper outdoor exposure plus blurred moving wheel.

Of the two, I pick #2 because I can see more detail with the wheel spinning and light coming through.
When you can, please tell what we are looking at.

I like # 1 it's clearer especially the windows and background. # 2 shows action but the rest of the picture isn't clear.

I like the movement in the second one but the outside is overexposed. Can you put the windows from the first one into the steam engine of the second one with layering in Photoshop? Or combine them into an HDR image?

I think that it represents a steam engine
It is at the Reynolds museum

Ah, you could also take the Ansel Adams approach. Wait for the right light, and shoot. The beginning or end of the day would better balance the exposure.

Photoshop elements has a tutorial that shows how to merge two pictures so that the correctly exposed bit (the engine in pic 2) is merged with the correctly exposed background in picture 1. I do not know how difficult it would be with this engine but it is somewhere to start.

Without a ND filter I would have metered for the outside light and used fill flash to bring out the features in the wheel.
