When I did my D17 front rims I sprayed the centers first. After a few days I taped the centers off. Then sprayed the outer rim.

Mask off the middle, paint the silver, then mask off the silver and paint the orange. Reasoning is that silver is one of the best covering paints there is. Orange, however is the worst covering paint color, and will take many coats, just to cover what's beneath it. Masking a wheel takes a lot of time, too... HTH
